DETROIT (AP) - A man with a cast on his leg, wearing a hospital band and using a walker stole a car with a 7-year-old boy inside from outside a Detroit gas station.

A 28-year-old man drove to the business about 5 p.m. Wednesday and went inside to buy something, according to Detroit police.

The car was taken while he was inside. The boy was found safe about three miles (five kilometers) from the gas station.



The car has not been recovered.
