FRANKENMUTH -- Police in Frankenmuth say that a dealership in town was nearly a victim of a "key scam."
Two men entered the dealership and asked to see two cars that were for sale.
The men were given keys to the vehicles and proceeded to look them over.
Later they returned the keys to the dealer, who later discovered that they were different keys.
The dealership disabled the vehicles, who suspected the men would return later to try and steal the vehicles.
The men did return later and attempt to steal the cars.
After being unable to start the cars, they left in a blue Ford Freestyle with Michigan plates.
The plates, CB6706, do not belong to this vehicle and are registered to an address in Detroit.
