YORKTOWN, Va. – A man’s work out ended in a police report.

According to the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Department, on June 13, a man went into the Victory Family YMCA in Yorktown and stole someone's car keys.

The sheriff’s department tells News 3, the man explained to the person at the front desk that he left something in the locker room. After getting the keys, the man is seen on surveillance video going to the victim's car and rummaging through it.
