We had an Astro van about that time that was almost stolen in this manner. When I spoke to the detective he told me this was very common, and the only thing he couldn't figure out about this instance was why my van was still there (He said probably because the blinker stalk was broken, many got nabbed driving around with the blinker on, because that was probable cause).
