(KSL News) A chilly morning provided an opportunity for a would-be car thief, but it also ruined his plans.
A man left his car running while he ran inside for less than a minute.
Two men on bikes saw their chance, and one jumped into the car and tried to back it out of the driveway.
The suspect ran into trouble when he realized the owner hadn't scraped the windows yet.
He first hit the neighbor's car, then a tree.
Police caught up with the suspects and arrested one of them on suspicion of auto theft, hit and run, and driving with a suspended license.
