A Michigan family shopping at Walmart had their Amish horse and buggy stolen from the parking lot over the weekend, police said.

The victims exited the retail store around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, when they realized their horse and buggy were gone, the Sturgis Department of Public Safety said.  

A truck driver who was parked in the parking lot told authorities that he saw a woman steal the buggy. He gave police a description of her.
