WINONA, Minn. — A man who left his car running while he ran into his house looked out and saw a shirtless man driving off. In the center console was $1,000 cash and a wallet with an additional $400, police were told. Important: A pair of dachshunds were in the back seat. Seven minutes later police found the car abandoned. The money was gone. The car was undamaged. The dogs were fine. The car theft was about 5:10 p.m. near Broadway and Sioux streets. The car was located 18 blocks away near the Lake Winona lodge. There were no surveillance cameras at either end of the route, police said. The only clue as to the thief is the description from the dachshunds’ owner — a skinny, bald male probably between 30 and 50.
