Stolen? Well, Not Really

It started innocently enough. A Wilkesboro woman tells sheriff deputies a man came by to return a lug wrench he'd borrowed from her. He asked for the keys so he could tuck the wrench away in the cab of the pickup. She gave them to him, and that's the last she's seen of her pickup. Right now, deputies stop short of calling it a stolen vehicle, filing the report as "unauthorized use of a vehicle" instead. They are looking for the 22-year old man, and a white 2003 Ford Ranger pickup, license number VTB-5354. Deanna Santos, the victim, tells deputies she has some ideas where he may be, and will file charges against him herself when she locates him.
