A well-known radio personality in Southern California took to the airwaves to help recover his wife’s stolen vehicle.
Kevin Kline, co-host of KROQ’s Kline/Ally Show, shared during Wednesday’s live segment that his wife’s car had been stolen from their driveway earlier that day. He effectively turned his show into a hub for assistance, appealing to listeners for help in locating the vehicle.
After reviewing the car’s GPS data to find its last known location, Kline announced the address to his audience and sought anyone nearby to assist.
Listeners quickly set to work and found an abandoned Range Rover in Koreatown.
“A few of them were on the street, blocking traffic,” Kline mentioned, noting that they didn’t even call the authorities.
They kept an eye on the vehicle until Klein’s wife showed up with the keys and drove it back home. The whole situation wrapped up before his show concluded that morning.
“It’s amazing how fast it all happened and how many people pitched in to help,” Klein reflected.
Although security footage from their home didn’t capture the actual theft, Klein suspects the thief made off with the Range Rover after her dog started barking around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
There wasn’t any noticeable damage to the car. However, the thieves had managed to break into the roof and disconnect the GPS tracking wire, likely after Klein noted down the last coordinates.
The experience was somewhat stressful, yet it did have a silver lining: the car’s gas tank, originally nearly empty, was filled up by the time it was retrieved.
In light of this incident, the family has decided to reorganize the garage, clearing out boxes to provide a safe parking space for their car. Klein’s wife had her vehicle stolen previously in early 2025.
“This is LA,” Klein quipped on air. “You really can’t say you’ve lived here long unless your car has been stolen at least twice.”
