Ricky Sadler was spotted by police the day after the Honda Civic was stolen during a burglary in the Horden area. The homeless 34-year-old was pulled over on the A689 near Billingham on August 8 last year when officers discovered he was a disqualified driver, Teesside Crown Court heard. Charlie Thompson, prosecuting, said the car was returned to its owner with a small dent to the rear. In a victim impact statement, the new mother said the burglary had left her wanting to leave the area. Sadler, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to driving whilst disqualified, handling stolen goods and driving without insurance.
