Los Angeles Times reports that the mortuary van which Bobby stole was parked with the keys left inside by the driver who checked into Chicago Avenue morgue in Riverside to pick up a paperwork, around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Bobby is now facing a 3-count charge, which include; auto theft, evading police and assault with a deadly weapon. However, charges of stealing the dead body was dropped because cops believe he never wanted to.
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything like this, out of all the bad decisions he made, he at least made one good one and brought back the deceased person. We don’t think he knew it was in there at the time he stole it" said Riverside Police Department spokesman Ryan Railsback.
