**Woman in Oklahoma Claims Stolen Jeep was Birthday Gift**

A bizarre incident unfolded in Oklahoma when a woman named Angela Harrison was pulled over by the Tulsa Police Department for driving a stolen white Jeep Liberty. The story took an unexpected turn when Harrison claimed that the stolen vehicle was actually a “birthday tip” from a former customer of hers from her time working at Waffle House.

**Police Department Receives Alert**

The Tulsa Police Department received an alert from a safety camera regarding the stolen Jeep Liberty. The Real Time Information Center of the department tracked the vehicle until officers were able to conduct a traffic stop. During the stop, Angela Harrison explained that she had recently encountered a former customer at a gas station who supposedly gifted her the Jeep and $10 cash in anticipation of her upcoming 53rd birthday.

**Conflicting Details Emerged**

However, conflicting details soon emerged. The vehicle had been reported stolen before Christmas, and detectives had already obtained surveillance footage of Harrison in the stolen Jeep on January 14th. Despite identifying herself in the photo, Harrison was unable to explain how she could have been in possession of the vehicle in January if she had just received it as a gift an hour before.

**Jeep Returned to Owner’s Family**

Further investigation revealed that the owner of the stolen Jeep had passed away the previous year. The vehicle was returned to his family, and Angela Harrison was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle.

In a strange twist of events, what initially seemed like a generous act of kindness turned out to be a case of unlawful possession. The Tulsa Police Department’s swift action and thorough investigation led to the rightful return of the stolen vehicle to the deceased owner’s family.
