PITTSBURGH \u2014 \u201cI\u2019m out of a car and a job at this point,\u201d Jarod Stowers told Channel 11. <\/p>\n
In 24 hours, Stowers went from working as a delivery driver for Szechuan Spice in Pittsburgh\u2019s Shadyside neighborhood to trying to figure out how he\u2019ll pay his bills.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just a car to me. It\u2019s like my livelihood. I would hope they know that and feel some amount of remorse,\u201d Stowers said. <\/p>\n
He was out last night delivering on South Millvale in Bloomfield. Surveillance video shows where he put his car in park. Within 60 seconds of him getting out of his car to deliver the food and then walking back, his car was gone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt crazy because I thought I parked in the wrong spot or I was having trouble finding it. It felt like it literally just vanished,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
A stranger got into his car, and another person appeared to be standing as a lookout. Then the driver sped off, and the lookout started running.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was out of the car. I was at a house maybe 200 feet from it. It\u2019s crazy to see somebody get out of their car and hope that you get your timing right,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
The timing for Stowers couldn\u2019t be worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just moved out of my mom\u2019s house for the first time, and now I\u2019m like I have all the responsibility of my bills and everything was gaining momentum and then all of a sudden, I just got the car stolen,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Police tell Channel 11 they are reviewing camera footage from the area \u2014 while Stowers tries to figure out what\u2019s next. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty much out of a job until further notice, until I can find another car to use or scrounge up some money to buy another one.\u201d <\/p>\n
