Family members combed Pittsburgh's Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood Sunday afternoon for a woman's stolen car, which almost slammed into a WTAE Channel 4 Action News truck before speeding off.

The driver ducked into a dead-end alley and ran off into the woods, leaving the car in one piece.

The owner's cell phone was missing, but her wallet was still inside the car.

"My identification was in there. I mean, you don't realize ... you just jump in a car and whatever, but when it is gone, that's all your independence. I thank God I found it today and my car's in one piece," said the owner, who requested to remain anonymous.

Police tracked a person down with the help of a police K-9 officer. The man was not charged as of early Sunday evening.
