Theft victim asleep in back of truck when it was stolen

Imagine falling asleep in the back of your truck, and waking up to realize it is being stolen.

That happened to a man in Olympia on Thursday. He called 911, but the thief noticed him in the back.

“The driver of the vehicle pulled off onto a gravel road. The victim in the back of the vehicle could see the driver exiting the vehicle and he described the driver having what appeared to be a fixed bladed knife in his hand at that point,” said Olympia Police Lieutenant Ray Holmes.

Holmes said the victim was able to escape, but the truck is still missing.
