Gaskill said he left work Monday and was on his way to a hardware store when he stopped at a red light at Good Holmes and Old Winter Garden Road and recognized a familiar flower sticker in the rear window of the vehicle in front of his.

"You never really think you're going to see it again," Gaskill said.

He said he called 911 and directed Orange County sheriff's deputies to the stolen vehicle's location.

Deputies said they arrested three 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old in connection with the case. Marijuana was discovered in the car, investigators said.
