Amish family's horse and buggy stolen from small-town Michigan Walmart



Sturgis, Michigan, may not have the international name recognition that its South Dakotan namesake offers, but the small town recently made the news with an odd story that would be a better fit for the rowdier and more popular motorcycle paradise. An Amish horse and buggy were recently stolen from the town’s Walmart.

The buggy’s owners entered the Sturgis Walmart last weekend, and a short while later, the town’s Department of Public Safety received a call reporting that the buggy, and the horse pulling it, had been stolen. A witness said he saw a woman take the horse and buggy, but she didn’t make it far. Police found the rig a few blocks down the road and located the suspect in a local motel. They’d already had contact with her earlier that day; she's been charged with larceny and larceny of livestock.
