This Windsor woman thought her belongings were safe in a gym locker. Then her car was stolen

It was a brazen theft from under her nose: A Windsor woman says her car was missing for days and she's out thousands of dollars after her bag was stolen from a gym locker this week. 

Kelly Rincon said her ordeal started on Saturday, when she went to the GoodLife gym at Tecumseh Mall. She locked her bag into a locker and did her workout. When she returned, her belongings weren't where she'd left them, the lock having apparently been cut off. 

"So I immediately panicked because I said, 'Oh my God, like, somebody took my bag,'" Rincon said. 

Rincon said she immediately went to check on her car to see if it was still in the lot, because her keys were in the bag. It was, and she continued to keep an eye on it as she alerted staff and started calling the police. 

It was when mall security got there and insisted she speak to them inside that Rincon said she left the car alone.

She saw what happened next play out on parking lot surveillance footage after the fact. 

"You can clearly see like these people were waiting outside, inside of a black Ford pickup truck," Rincon said. 

"Five minutes later, you see me running outside. They watch me [check on my car] to see if it's still there. They see me  trying to open the doors. 

"When the security guards brought me inside ... that's when you can see them pull up to my car, one of the men get inside the car and drives off with the car."

Rincon said she's "so frustrated" by the theft. 

"It's honestly one of the [worst] feelings in the world to know that you work so hard for what you have ... and then people out there don't care."

Rincon said she was told her belongings, as well as another woman's purse, were stolen by a woman who signed up for a day pass. She says staff told her they didn't take the woman's identification because she didn't have it on her.

Rincon said she's been in touch with GoodLife management, who were apologetic even as they told her they're not liable for any loss or theft — even though she said members are encouraged to use the lockers to prevent tripping hazards on the gym floor. 

A spokesperson for GoodLife confirmed that guests must show ID, but couldn't confirm whether that policy was violated in this case, citing the ongoing police and internal investigations.
