Police: East Texas man stole car from Taco Bueno parking lot after applying for job there
A 29-year-old East Texas man has been accused of stealing a car from the parking lot of a Taco Bueno restaurant — minutes after he had finished applying for a job there.
News station KLTV reports Courtney Cordell Wheat allegedly took a Datsun 280ZX left running in the Kilgore store’s parking lot on Tuesday after submitting his application.
“Who goes and applies for a job and then steals a car in the parking lot?” Kilgore Assistant Police Chief Roman Roberson told KLTV.

Brandon Jones, the car’s owner, told the news station that he had returned to the restaurant to get a meal for his son that had been left out of his order.
“I saw my car just dip down and I knew someone was in my car,” Jones told the news station.
Jones ran outside and failed to break the car’s window before Wheat took off, Jones said.
A Taco Bueno manager tried to follow Wheat but failed, according to KLTV.
