Columbus police investigating back-to-back car thefts they say targeted delivery drivers
The first happened just before 7 p.m. at 2700 Aschinger Boulevard. The next happened at 1350 North High Street.
Police said the problem is that the suspects take advantage of when a delivery driver leaves their car running. They say some think because they have the fob with them they will be OK and that is not the case because the car can still be driven.
The police reports do not include which company the drivers work for.
To see what food delivery services are doing to keep drivers safe, we reached out to the three most used in Columbus: GrubHub, Uber Eats and DoorDash.
Do you know where Donato's is located? At 920 North High Street.

"The boys' mother was reportedly picking up a DoorDash order when the car was stolen."

We have had multiple alerts on this in Ohio...no kids thus far...the bad guy may be after the kids.

You might want to read the DDN article. They found one of the boys at the Dayton airport.

Leaving a car running and unattended is against the law in most, if not all, states.

That, too. Thanks for the reminder. It's because it creates a public hazard.

Where did you learn she was working there? I read she was just picking up an order she had placed.

Thanks but I don't see any sarcasm tags and it's not amusing - even if meant to be sarcastic
