DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A thief stole a car with a 3-year-old girl strapped in her seat
Wednesday, then left the toddler at a nearby fast food restaurant unharmed.
Cheyanne Vinolli was discovered at a Burger King near where the car was taken. She
was reunited with her mother, Pamela Clarkston, within 15 minutes, said Veda
Coleman-Wright, a Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman.
The stolen car still was missing Wednesday night, Coleman-Wright said.
Deputies said the car was taken when Clarkston, 26, went inside a gas station to pay,
leaving her boyfriend in the car with Cheyanne.
Clarkston's boyfriend then went inside the station. The car thief jumped into the auto and
drove away. Cheyanne was dropped off at the restaurant moments later.
