An Edmonton, Alberta man who had his sport utility vehicle
stolen from a downtown golf course earlier this month was
surprised to get a call over the weekend telling him he
could have the vehicle back for $50.
The man who owns the 2003 Chevy Blazer arranged to meet the
mysterious caller at a liquor store Sunday afternoon to
make the swap.
Nearby police, who'd been notified by the owner, arrested
a man who arrived in the Blazer. Officers also found two
stolen licence plates during their search.
Daniel Robert Gorman, 38, was charged with extortion,
possession of stolen property over $5,000, and two counts
of possession under $5,000.
"The fact the caller actually went through with it is
quite unusual, quite surprising
