CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A Corpus Christi couple is asking for the public’s help after their car was stolen and later used in another crime across the city.<\/p>\n
Kenda Amburgey returned from a flight on September 23 to discover her 2017 red Nissan Rogue was missing from The Alexander by Azali apartment complex. Her boyfriend, Kristopher Anderson, had stayed home while she traveled.<\/p>\n
“We came back and the car was missing. Then we made a police report,” Anderson said.<\/p>\n
The couple discovered Anderson had accidentally left his vehicle unlocked with Amburgey’s keys inside, allowing the suspect to steal her car.<\/p>\n

“Obviously I cried about it. I’m emotional. I’m pregnant. So it’s been really rough,” Amburgey said.<\/p>\n
With her baby due in December, not having a vehicle has created additional challenges for the expectant mother.<\/p>\n
“I had an appointment yesterday I was worried I was going to miss,” Amburgey said.<\/p>\n
The Corpus Christi Police Department confirms the stolen SUV has been spotted in several locations throughout the city. The missing vehicle has an Ohio license plate that reads, KLQ8373.<\/p>\n
“He’s using it as if it’s his own personal vehicle,” Anderson said.<\/p>\n
On the same day the couple reported the theft, police say the stolen Nissan was used in a dine and dash incident at Umiya restaurant on SPID.<\/p>\n
Anyone who sees the vehicle or has information that could help police is asked to call the non-emergency number at 361-886-2600.<\/p>\n
