Danielle Reno of Kansas City said she was only out of her Toyota 4Runner for a few short moments while picking up her daughter when someone jumped into the vehicle and sped off.

Reno said she visited a QuickTrip station where her cards were used about 48 hours after the theft and the clerk offered a helpful clue: The women in the vehicle had mentioned they were going to Applebee's. The amateur sleuth said she sat at a table in Applebee's until she saw three women walk in, one of whom was holding her wallet and keys. Reno posted a video to Facebook showing her sneaking out to the parking lot and stealing her car back while alerting authorities. Advertisement Police soon arrived and the three women were arrested. Reno said the women trashed the inside of her vehicle, spilling beer and other unidentified substances on the surfaces.
