ST. GEORGE — A Hungry Howie’s pizza delivery driver’s blue 2004 Dodge Neon was stolen while the driver was delivering a pizza to Walgreens, located on St. George Boulevard, late Friday afternoon.
At approximately 4:40 p.m., a young man stopped at Walgreens, located at the west end of St. George Boulevard, to deliver pizza. He got out of his car, left the keys in the ignition and went into Walgreens. When he came back out, his car was gone, St. George Police Sgt. Sam Despain said.
“This is not a common occurrence,” Despain said.

At the time of this publishing the vehicle and suspect were still at large.

Poor kid! Just trying to do his job and this happens. I really hope they catch the loser who did this. I wouldn’t be surprised if the idiot leaves the pizza sign on the car while he tools around town.
That area of town is so bad anymore. It’s a shame. Hope he gets his car back and learns a valuable lesson!
Unfortunately, as many deliveries as they do, its hard on a car to start it that many times a night.. annd many cars nowadays wont lock with key in ignition.. so ppl just hope they will be ok.. hes working.. hes trying not to tear his vehicle up.. this is not a lesson he should learn, its a sad disposition of this town.
No Deborah, you are totally wrong. It IS a lesson he should learn from. What do think is harder on a car, being shut down and cranked multiple times during a shift, or being stolen and trashed, (if that is in fact what happened or happens.) Few stolen cars are recovered intact.
I feel for this kid, it’s a tough lesson. BUT it is something that everyone needs to do. We don’t live in the utopia we would like to think we do. It is a big, bad world out there, and we are not exempt from it, just because we are in Dixie. I see it all the time in parking lots where folks leave their keys in the car. It is just inviting theft.
As to the neighborhood there at Walgreens and Smiths, it isn’t exactly “big city bad,” but it is bad enough.
lol considering its an 04 neon, maybe he should be glad to be rid of it LOL
wow
So that is why my pizza never got delivered.
I agree that this is a lesson no one should ever have to learn. Look at the circumstances and the potential for more than just the loss of a car. He is working for a reason.
If u want to keep your car running, get a spare key. Lock your door and use the spare key to get back in. To all of u who want to debate the car key issue on newer models, save your breath. Pizza delivery drivers can’t afford newer models!!!
