Chicago police say a car thief disrupted an Iowa couple's wedding preparations on Thursday when the couple's car — with the wedding dress in the trunk — was stolen from the Lakeview neighborhood.
West side police officers recovered the dress early Saturday morning in West Garfield Park after they stopped the car because it appeared suspicious, police said.
Police said the couple, in town for their wedding Saturday morning, parked the car about 8 p.m. Thursday night. By Friday morning, it was gone.
A sharp eye on the west side located the car shortly thereafter and the steal was recovered along with the wedding dress. The media is running with this one during the holiday season. While the involved officers might just call it "routine," it meant a lot to the now married couple and hopefully, their memories of Chicago include kind thoughts and words for the CPD.
