Half Moon Bay Police officers first spotted the stolen vehicle parked crookedly in front of a closed business around 3 a.m. on Sunday. When an officer passed the car, the vehicle backed out and drove away.
Police officers pulled over the vehicle. The 18-year-old driver said the car belonged to a friend, but police soon became suspicious as they noticed a car stereo with cut wires inside. A further search revealed a stereo face-plate, two wallets and other suspicious items, including a shaved key commonly used to break into cars.
