From Art Campos:
A Roseville man got his stolen car back - thanks to a little fairy.
Driving on Douglas Boulevard early Thursday evening, the car-theft victim noticed two distinctive stickers of Disney's Tinkerbell character on a nearby car in the traffic, police said. Recognizing the stickers as the ones on his Saturn sedan that had been stolen five days earlier, the man began trailing the vehicle.
The victim lost the Saturn in traffic but later spotted it parked at the Wal-Mart store on Lead Hill Boulevard, said Dee Dee Gunther, a police spokeswoman.
The man called police and continued to watch his car, she said. A woman and girl returned to the car and drove away, but police were able to locate and stop the vehicle, she said.
Inside the car, police found merchandise stolen from the Wal-Mart, Gunther said.
Arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, burglary, possession of stolen property and contributing to the delinquency of a minor was Sandra Monique Alcala, 20, of Roseville. She was booked into the Placer County jail and held on $20,000 bail, Gunther said.
Her companion, a 17-year-old girl from Citrus Heights, was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property. She was released to an adult guardian on a promise to appear in court, Gunther said.
