Former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer has learned a lesson about locking his vehicle
FILE - Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer speaks during the International Symposium on Agroterrorism, April 24, 2008, in Kansas City, Mo. The former agriculture secretary and North Dakota governor learned a lesson about his car keys after his vehicle was stolen Friday morning, Aug. 25, 2023, as he hosted a Fargo, N.D., radio show. Former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer learned a lesson about his car keys after his vehicle was stolen as he hosted a Fargo radio show.
Schafer was guest hosting KFGO's “News and Views” program Friday morning when police called the station to ask if he owned a 2020 GMC Yukon, the station reported. It turns out that the SUV had been stolen out of the station’s parking lot. The thief apparently drove it to a probation office and surrendered to authorities, Schafer said.
The vehicle has a push-button start feature and requires a key fob to be in the vehicle before it can be operated. But Schafer had left a spare fob inside, enabling the thief to start it up and drive off.“My wife for 31 years has said, ‘Why don’t you lock your car?’” Schafer said.
