A woman from St. Paul, Minn., is warning Winnipeg car owners after her vehicle was stolen two times in three weeks.
The first incident happened within hours of Emilia Nowaczewski moving to Winnipeg. The University of Manitoba student’s car was taken from a paid parking lot on Broadway near Edmonton Street.
“I never thought this would happen,” Nowaczewski said.
At the time, police were able to retrieve her vehicle from Stella Walk. After that, Nowaczewski equipped her car with deterrents, including a steering wheel lock and a hidden air tag.
But three weeks later, her 2002 Chrysler Concorde was stolen again – just a block from where the first incident took place.
“Of course, I had the air tag this time, you know, as a safety measure,” she said.
