A game of Pokemon Go ended badly in Kennewick Tuesday night for one player, but police have set things right.

The player left his car in the Kennewick High School parking lot while he captured creatures, returning to find it stolen.

Wednesday an officer driving down an alley off north Kent Street in response to a tip spotted the missing car parked on the grass in the backyard of a house. A 16 year old was cleaning it out, according to Kennewick police.

The teen has been booked into the Juvenile Justice Center and the car returned to its owner undamaged
