Cops Red Faced After Own Undercover Car Stolen

You know who to call if someone steals your car. But who do cops call when one of their cruisers goes missing? That's the embarrassing dilemma facing Halton Regional Police after someone made off with one of their unmarked vehicles in Hamilton overnight. The great car caper wasn't discovered until Monday morning.

It didn't look much like an official vehicle from the outside and could easily have fooled a crook. But inside, it was obvious what it really was. The interior contained a Halton Police-issued 40-calibre Beretta pistol and some ammunition, a canister of pepper spray, a pair of handcuffs, a bullet-proof vest, a police radio and five black T-shirts with Halton Police markings. 

So instead of you looking to them, cops are now looking to you as they hunt for the mystery motorist who took the car in the first place There's no word on how the thief managed to get into the vehicle, but authorities are on the lookout for a four-door, grey 2004 Buick Century with license plate  AVYS 120.
