ORANGE CITY, Iowa (AP) – A car stolen in 1999 has turned up in a northwest Iowa pond.  Sioux City television station KCAU says workers excavating the pond near Orange City found the car on Dec. 5. A member of the Sioux County dive team got into the icy water to hook a cable to the vehicle so it could be pulled out.

Jim Pottebaum, of the Orange City Police Department, says investigators aren’t sure how the car got into the pond but have learned that it was reported stolen at Dordt College in Sioux Center 14 years ago.
