Mountain View police are looking for a stolen police car that they say was taken from Shoreline Amphitheatre on Friday night.

Police say the vehicle was stolen after a Mountain View police officer responded to a call for assistance during the Jane's Addiction/Nine Inch Nails concert on Friday at 11:15 p.m., and left the keys in the ignition. An amphitheatre employee said he saw one suspect in the car driving up and down Shoreline Boulevard. He thought the suspect may be a teenager, but was not sure, according to police spokesperson Liz Wylie.

"We have never had this happen before -- at least that we can remember," Wylie said. "There is someone out there with an emergency vehicle who shouldn't have it."

The black and white police car is marked with the number 3006 in gold lettering, has "Mountain View Police" written in gold letters on the back and also has the MVPD star logo, according to a department press release.

There is a "less lethal" shotgun in the car that shoots bean bags. The weapon is locked in the vehicle Wylie said.

"But there is obviously concern if someone wanted it they could get it out," she added.

Wylie said police are concerned that the suspect could impersonate a police officer, use the weapon, or misuse the sirens and cause an accident.

"We are hoping it is just some teenager who has dumped it somewhere," Wylie said.

Mountain View and San Jose police have been searching for the car on the ground and by helicopter, but have not found it yet, Wylie said. The police department also notified other cities and agencies about the missing vehicle.

"The potential of where it could be is huge, but we have notified pretty much the whole world," Wylie said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Mountain View Police at 650-903-6344. Police are accepting anonymous calls.
