Police are asking Lincoln residents to be on the lookout for two vehicles stolen early Thursday from a car lot.

At around 2 a.m., officers discovered the rear door of Priced Rite Auto Sales, 901 N. 48th St., had been broken and that someone had taken three sets of car keys and three cars — a silver Oldsmobile Aurora, a two-door, tan Chevy Blazer and a silver Pontiac Grand Prix, Capt. Jim Thoms said.

He said the Aurora was found abandoned on 29th Street, between Orchard and Dudley. But Thursday morning police still were looking for the Blazer and Grand Prix, which had very little fuel and had the price written in yellow marker on the windshield.

Thoms said the two probably have been abandoned somewhere in Lincoln.
