He said that the order had special delivery instructions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cThose instructions stated to take the food around back because the front door couldn\u2019t be opened,\u201d said Farrell. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Farrell said he left his car running, but he had his keys with him and by the time he came back to where he parked his car, it was gone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cThe first thing I did was call the police and try to get somebody out here as fast as I can,\u201d Farrell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">About an hour later, officers told him his car was involved in a high-speed chase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Police said that the stolen car crashed into an officer\u2019s vehicle and hit a building before a teen and other suspects ditched the car. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">JSO said the teen inside the car was ordered to stop reaching in his pants and did not comply, and that is when the officer shot him multiple times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cWe were able to kind of hear and kind of see what was going on because everything happened maybe four streets down from where my car was stolen from,\u201d said Farrell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Now, as Farrell is left with a totaled car, he has a warning for other delivery drivers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cDouble check and do everything you think you need to do to make sure your car is secure,\u201d Farrell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/live-breaking\/\" target=\"_blank\">&gt;&gt;&gt;
