“I got out of my car, filled up with gas, and in hopped another individual that stole my car and drove off,” Simon said.Simon said he left it running while filing up at the gas station.This time, the car went from the 2300 block of West Fullerton in Bucktown to Douglas Park. “I contacted the two officers who helped me previously and said, ‘You’re never going to believe this, but my car was stolen again,’” Simon said.Simon said there were stolen plates on it by the time they’d gotten it back the second time and that he’s grateful for the quick work of police.
