On Friday, around 3 a.m., a van painted to look like the "The Mystery Machine" from Scooby-Doo was stolen and subsequently crashed into a house in St Paul, Minnesota.

Ruh-roh, Raggy!

When St. Paul police arrived on the scene, they discovered two teenage suspects.

Luckily, no one was hurt, but the van did sustain front-end damage.

The police quickly located the owner of the hand-painted van, Guy Frechette, and informed him of what took place, as he had been unaware his vehicle had been taken.

"When the police knock on your door that early in the morning, it can never be good news," Frechette told the St Paul Pioneer Press. "But no one died, and it's just a van when it comes down to it. We paint it, we have fun with it."

The van is the third Mystery Machine his family has owned. It all started when Frechette's son, Avery, was about 3 or 4 years old, and they got a van "painted yellow and pretty rusty," Frechette said. He told the boy they could paint it however he wanted.

Frechette and Avery were heading to get paint and stopped at McDonald's, where the boy got a Happy Meal. He opened it and said, "Dad, can I really paint it however I want?" Frechette assured him he could. Avery showed him what he'd found in his Happy Meal: a toy Mystery Machine van. - St Paul Pioneer Press

With the mystery solved, St. Paul police had a bit of a fun with the incident.
