WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- Authorities say a man accused of stealing a woman's car during their first date last month has been captured. Waterford Township police say 53-year-old Gerald Tietz was arrested Saturday after the vehicle -- which had the vanity plate "JSRYGRL" -- was spotted in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Tietz and the woman, identified only as a New Jersey resident, became acquainted online and decide to meet on Feb. 26. At some point that evening, police say Tietz got the woman's car keys and took her vehicle.
