A Michigan family shopping at Walmart had their Amish horse and buggy stolen from the parking lot over the weekend, police said.
The victims left the store around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, when they realized their horse and carriage were missing, the Sturgis Department of Public Safety said.
A trucker who was parked in the parking lot told authorities he saw a woman steal the buggy. He gave police a description of her.
