Throughout much of the 70s and the entire 80s, Scooby-Doo proved that four teen characters with passion to solve creepy mysteries, along with their four-legged friend, could make for one of the most classic cartoons in television history. Now, it looks like the beloved vehicle of Scooby-Doo and his gang, the Mystery Machine was caught on the wrong side of the law.

Turman abandoned the Mystery Machine and is still at large after reaching speeds of 100 mph on Interstate 5. The Mystery Machine now sits in an impound lot and we’re still holding out hope that Scooby and the mystery crew will find the answer to this crime and regain possession of their vehicle. Check out the Twitter coverage of the chase as it went down below.
