Some First Date: Man Steals Woman's Car

Talk about a bad date. Amazingly, given the result, it wasn't even a blind date.

Police say Terrance Dejuan McCoy, 23 had dinner with a woman, 27, on April 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale. The two met a week earlier at a Detroit casino (Greektown) and the woman knew McCoy only as "Chris."

It was their first date. After dinner, McCoy told the woman he had left his wallet in her car and asked for the keys. He then sped away in her 2000 Chevrolet Impala, sticking her with the bill as well. Still worse, the woman had a backpack in the car containing $300 in cash, a laptop, iPod and camera.

Ferndale police Detective Sgt. Patrick Jones described the incident:

"She gave him her keys and he went out the door. From where she was sitting she saw him get in her car and he drove off at a high rate of speed. It sounds like a bad date to me. She picked him up that night at his apartment, then he stole her car and didn't even settle up the bill for dinner."

Fortunately for the woman, and police, the two had talked on their cell phones several times and McCoy had sent her a picture of himself that she kept on her cell phone, with which the police were able to ID him.

McCoy waived a preliminary hearing Thursday and was ordered to stand trial in Oakland County Circuit Court.
