Ex-Governor’s Radio Show Teaches Him a Hard Lesson
Former Governor Learns Tough Lesson While Hosting a Radio Show
Former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer learned a valuable lesson about car keys during an eventful day hosting a Fargo radio show.
Schafer was guest hosting KFGO’s “News and Views” program on Friday morning when police called the station to ask if he owned a 2020 GMC Yukon, the station reported.
It turns out that the SUV had been stolen right from the station’s parking lot.
The thief apparently drove it to a probation office and surrendered to authorities, Schafer said.
The stolen vehicle, a 2020 GMC Yukon, had a push-button start feature that required a key fob to be inside the vehicle for it to operate. Unfortunately, Schafer had left a spare fob inside, giving the thief easy access to start it up and drive away.
The former governor and U.S. agriculture secretary admits that he has been warned about being more careful in the past.
“My wife of 31 years has always said, ‘Why don’t you lock your car?’” Schafer shared.
