Police received a report of a vehicle being stolen from an address in Malvern St, Glenleith at 7.50am yesterday, Acting Sergeant Matt Nicols said.
The victim told officers he had left his Mitsubishi ute running in his driveway, waiting for it to warm up.
He left the ute and continued about his day, but when he went back outside, it was gone.
The vehicle was yet to be recovered, Sgt Nichols said.
"[Be] mindful of not leaving your vehicle unattended while running. It creates an easy opportunity for offenders," he said.
Police had received reports of four crashes during people’s commutes to work: one near the Burnside overbridge, one in Brighton Rd, another on Highgate and a fourth in Three Mile Hill Rd.
All the crashes were minor.
Police reminded people as the weather got colder to drive to the conditions, allow extra time to get to a destination and increase following distances.
The fog affected flights in and out of Dunedin Airport yesterday.
A flight from Christchurch to Dunedin (NZ5741), set to arrive at 7.40am, and one from Dunedin to Christchurch (NZ5758/SQ4501) departing at 8.10am were cancelled.
