The woman is said to have attempted to break into two mailboxes outside of the business but after failing, she tipped them over, causing some minor damage.
She then proceeded to check other vehicles in the lot to see if there were any unlocked doors.
Police tracked the woman down a few minutes later but once they flashed their lights, she ran off, getting back into the stolen vehicle and drove off. She then mounted a curb and got it stuck in a snowbank.
