Dear diary, I wish I wasn’t so devoted to this practice.
That might be one Minnesotan’s latest diary entry after she allegedly wrote in her diary that she “totally stole a car today,” according to police.
Vanessa Guerra, 30, a delivery driver from Mankato, Minn., was busted for auto theft after her alleged written confession to herself on Aug. 12, the same day a van was stolen and resold for parts nearby, according to a criminal complaint filed Nov. 22.
Police allegedly found the accused’s diary during the investigation. Her private diary allegedly sheds all of the details that she surely wishes would not have made it into the book.
“Totally stole a car today! Something I never thought of doing,” Guerra allegedly wrote in the entry, according to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. “F—ing superfreaking out about it.”
Guerra recently worked as a DoorDash driver. She allegedly sold the 2004 Ford Freestar van for $2,000 at a salvage business in Blue Earth County, per the Smoking Gun, which first reported the bizarre bust.
Employees at the auto salvage business told cops they recognized Guerra as the person who sold them the stolen vehicle, police said.
When reached by the investigator, Guerra denied knowing that the vehicle was stolen, according to the Mankato Free Press.
Guerra was charged with receiving stolen property and theft. She has reportedly been convicted of driving with a suspended licence and driving without insurance in the past.
