BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) - A police car in Bellingham was stolen outside a restaurant after an officer left the car running while responding to a call.

The Bellingham Herald reports that the car was found about 30 minutes later with two radio microphones - worth about $500 - stolen, and one of the vehicle's tires flat.

The Bellingham police officer had parked the car in an alley outside the Horseshoe Cafe while responding to a call of a potential fight inside on Sunday. When he returned to the car, it was gone.

Police are investigating. They had no suspects as of Monday.
