A 71-year-old man who was in a van reported as stolen Monday afternoon in DeLand has been found, police say.

Ruben Melendez Diaz, of Deltona, was found near Joe's Crab Shack in Daytona Beach Monday evening, according to police. And it turned out he was the one who took the van -- it wasn't stolen.

The vehicle, a 2000 Dodge Voyager van with Florida license plate HQGT73, was reported stolen at about 3:30 p.m. from the area of Laisey Drive and East Volusia Avenue. 

DeLand police say Diaz's family is on its way to pick up him and the van.
