Unexpected departure

1:19 p.m. — First block of Choctaw Trail, Ormond Beach

Stolen vehicle. A 51-year-old Ormond Beach man's car was stolen from his driveway after he left his keys inside when returning from a vacation.

Police report that the man arrived at his home the evening prior at around 9 p.m., removing only some of his luggage. The next morning, his car was gone, according to the police report. 

The man tracked his vehicle using an AirTag to an apartment complex in Daytona Beach, from which an employee later reported the vehicle was later towed due to it being "abandoned" and having a flat tire.

Police told the resident, who wished to press charges, how to retrieve his vehicle. They also advised him to park it somewhere secure or to look into changing the key fobs.

Park and fight

10:30 p.m. — 600 block of Fleming Avenue, Ormond Beach

Vandalism. A fight in a local park resulted in a dented car with over $1,000 worth of damage.

According to a police report, a 19-year-old Ormond Beach man showed up at the station to report damage to his car. How did the damage happen? He told police that he went to a local park because his friend's little brother was going to fight another kid his age. While at the park, a total of eight other cars showed up, and they got back in the car along with the kids he was with.

Up to twenty people, he said, got out of their cars and surrounded his, according to the report. They began hitting his car and he drove off. 

Two doors were kicked in and left large dents, with other dents all over his car. He and his parents, the registered owners of the car, were unsure if they wanted to pursue charges.
