    The 2007 Jeep stolen last week from a residence on Kiriaka has been recovered according to Humberto O. Garza, Public Information Officer for the Eagle Pass Police Department, the vehicle was found in the brushy area behind Perfecto Mancha Elementary in Lewis Estates.
    The vehicle can be seen with varying levels of damage in this picture and seems to have been taken on nothing more than a weekend-long joyride.  PD was taking fingerprints at press time and the case remains under investigation.
    Auto Theft has had its hands full these past few weeks with the rash of car jackings including three more this weekend including a 2008 Lincoln Mark IV taken from the Maverick Pit Stop on the 16th at approximately 9:42 PM when its owner got off briefly and stepped into the store.
    Later that evening, a gold in color 2008 Chevy Silverado was taken from the 1100 block of Kiriaka at 4:33 AM. 
    At 6:34 AM on Cole Street a 2004 Chevy Colorado was also reported stolen, but later recovered by EPPD.
    Neither the Lincoln nor the Chevy Silverado have been seen or recovered bringing the count to twelve auto thefts over the past two weeks.
