Police said a Bridgeport man surreptitiously recovered his car Sunday morning after police ordered it to be towed to a body shop.
A tow truck driver employed by J. Cox & Son Auto Body, 15 Knight St., told officers he put a car in the company's fenced-in lot at around 12:30 a.m. and began completing a form for towed vehicles, with the entrance gate left open.
He said a car stopped in front of the lot and a man exited it and ran to a another car in the lot. He said the man started the car and drove away.
Police spokesman Sgt. David O'Connor said the car had been towed away after a traffic stop because the driver had a suspended license and the car was uninsured and had a suspended registration.
O'Connor said police know the man's name and address and will apply for an arrest warrant to take him into custody.

The other man was Jose Domingo, 26, of 3 Ely Ave.
Both were charged with second-degree trespass, third-degree criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
Domingo was held on $500 bond and given a court date of June 27. Grabe-Ismalej was given a summons to appear in court June 27.
