A Lincoln man was making a pizza delivery Friday evening to an apartment near 11th and F streets.
He was at the door for no more than 45 seconds, he said, but when he turned around to head back to his car, it was gone.
He left his tan 1997 Toyota Corolla running, unlocked and unattended for less than a minute, but it was enough time for someone to steal it.
The vehicle was found two hours later in an alley about four blocks away, near F Street and Goodhue Boulevard, Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs said.
A woman called police after she saw the Corolla with the Papa John's sign on the roof had been left unattended for more than an hour.
Lincoln police have no suspects, but they want to remind citizens to never leave their cars running unattended for any amount of time.
"It's the time of year where there is opportunity to take cars that are warming up," Beggs said. "Do not, under any circumstances, leave it warming up or running unattended -- even if it's locked."

Given it's about an hour and a half drive from where the car was stolen to where it was found, about the only way the thieves could have done it was to load the car into a specially equipped enclosed trailer and strip it while underway.
