Two cars left running unattended were stolen Tuesday on Aurora’s East Side, according to police.
A black 2011 Hyundai Sonata was taken at about 5 p.m. from in front of a home in the 500 block of Binder Street, police spokesman Dan Ferrelli said in an email. The car, which the owner said was worth $20,000, also had a wallet, cash and personal papers inside, Ferrelli said.
A short time after the car went missing, police officers saw the car driving on the Near East Side, but couldn’t get close enough to make a stop after the car took off, Ferrelli said. The car has Illinois plates E578794.
At about 7 p.m., a white 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix was taken from a driveway in the 200 block of Shadybrook Lane, Ferrelli said. The Pontiac plates are Illinois R619097.
