ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A 2021 GMC Yukon was recently recovered by police 10 days after being stolen. The owner, Angie Waggoner, picked up the vehicle from impound on Monday.

It doesn’t look much different from the outside; inside, it is a wasteland.

Waggoner said she found “…about 15 cell phones, five or six purses. … The cat was the most surprising for me.”

Two cats, to be specific; with the litter box—and litter—left behind. Both are now in shelters.

“(Police) said there were at least 15 people in there,” she said. “There are bottles of urine in there where they went to the bathroom in bottles.”

She said the thieves grabbed her car keys off the table while she was distracted eating with her three children at a McDonald’s.

“The insurance company was going to total it because of the biohazard, but now they’re just gonna pay to have everything fixed,” Waggoner said.

It was Waggoner’s dream car. Her purse and child safety seat long gone.

After posting pictures of her trashed Yukon on Facebook, Waggoner said she found another reported victim.

Classie Hughes met her to see for herself.

Hughes stepped back and repeatedly gagged as she could not bear the smell. She said she noticed on the Facebook posts that there was a monogramed bag stolen from her home, with her name on it.

“My name is ‘Classie.’ No one has my name, so how stupid could you be to take something with my name on it?” Hughes said. “It was weird things, like my ultrasound photos, were taken.”

Police in O’Fallon, Missouri, are applying for criminal charges after recovering the vehicle.

“This case serves as a strong example of the challenges vehicle theft victims face,” police spokesman Bryan Harr said. “It’s not just about losing a vehicle; it’s also about the personal violation that comes with it.”

Waggoner said she’s determined to see the case through prosecution.
