Sometime overnight a red 2002 Chevrolet Tracker was taken from the driveway of the residence.

Vehicle collision
On Oct. 13, RCMP were called to a single vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Lookout Rd.
A vehicle was travelling northbound passing another vehicle when the driver lost control on icy road conditions.
This caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and crash into the ditch.
The driver and single occupant of the vehicle received non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Alleged steel pipe threats
On Oct. 13, RCMP were called to an incident where a male had allegedly threatened a group of people with a steel pipe in a parking lot at a business on Highway 97.
It was advised a male had approached them and became irate and produced a steel pipe and made threatening gestures to use the pipe.
The male then used the pipe to strike the side of a camper which was in the parking lot at the time which caused damage to it.
Members located the male nearby and arrested the 33-year-old male resident of 100 Mile House without further incident.
The male was held in custody and RCMP have requested charges of assault with a weapon, mischief under $5,000 and breach of a recognizance.
The incident appears to have been random in nature as the person was not known to the group prior to the incident.
