Man's BMW Missing; Lends it to Woman, Doesn't Know Her Name or Address

 A Bassett Road man reported loaning his 1993 BMW to his friend of four months, “Sabrina” (not the teenage witch), on Sept. 1. When she did not return the car by Sept. 7, and did not answer his calls, he came to the Westlake Police Department for help.

The man, however, forgot to get a few simple facts from the woman including her last name and address.

The victim has been to the suspect’s mom’s house, but didn’t know that address either.
