Ardmore Resident Tracks Phone Signal to Stolen Car

She came out shortly afterward to find it stolen, then about 10 p.m. was able to track the signal of her cell phone to an Overbrook intersection four and a half miles away, police said.

The resident went to the location of the signal and found the car there. No arrests were made.
