A stolen 1979 Cadillac<\/a> belonging to actor Jerry O\u2019Connell was recovered after a traffic stop on Pacific Coast Highway, the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department told NBC4 Investigates.<\/p>\n

A homeless man was behind the wheel of O\u2019Connell’s vintage luxury car when deputies pulled it over Jan. 13 for speeding. The driver failed to provide deputies with a driver\u2019s license, registration and proof of insurance, the agency said.<\/p>\n

The man claimed the car belonged to a family member but could not provide more details, the department said.<\/p>\n

Deputies determined the car was registered to the O\u2019Connell family and learned it was stolen from his Calabasas home in the west San Fernando Valley.<\/p>\n

O’Connell, who is married to “X-Men” trilogy actor Rebecca Romijn, and his family were out of town and were not aware the car had been stolen, the sheriff\u2019s department said.<\/p>\n

The Cadillac was returned to O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connell starred in movies including \u201cStand by Me,\u201d \u201cJerry McGuire\u201d and “Scream 2,” as well as in the TV series Sliders. <\/p>\n
