VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – We have an early candidate for the worst date of 2011.

Vancouver police are looking for 36-year-old Thomas James Newman, who is wanted for theft over $5,000.

Police claim he met a woman on an online dating website, met up with her on January 9th and then stole her car.

Newman has a history of theft-related offences, and police say they are investigating at least five other crimes that are similar.

They are also urging people to be careful with whoever they meet on the internet.
