July 13, 2022 | By Lisa Scagliotti In an update of a press release on Sunday, Vermont State Police say the case of a car reported stolen last weekend in Waterbury Center turned out to be not a theft, but a misunderstanding.
Police investigated the report of a dark blue Audi A3 that went missing from the Country Club of Vermont sometime on the afternoon of Saturday, July 9.
On Wednesday, Trooper Ryan Rancourt shared an update with Waterbury Roundabout: “The Baraws have their vehicle back, it was a huge misunderstanding. Another gentleman picked up the vehicle believing it was his. The vehicle was never stolen.”
The vehicle belongs to 78-year-old Charles Baraw of Stowe.
“I think it may be important to remind the public the importance of securing their vehicles to safeguard their property,” Rancourt added.
