Suspect tried to steal UPS truck as driver was delivering package, police say - Long Beach Post

A UPS driver on Thursday afternoon was delivering a package on Pacific Coast Highway near Grand Avenue when someone got into his truck and drove off with it, officials said.

The stranded driver flagged down Long Beach police officers at about 12:10 p.m. to tell them about the theft, spokesman Brandon Fahey said. Police promptly blocked off streets in the area and found the empty truck near 20th Street and Obispo Avenue, where the thief appeared to have veered off to the side of the road into a driveway.

Officers were still on the scene searching for the suspect at 1 p.m., but because the driver didn’t see him or her, they don’t have a description available.

Left the keys in the ignition? Sounds like somebody's getting fired.

I thought you all carried a key fob and not an actual key now. The thief should be easy to identify because according to some on here you drivers are being secretly video taped all day long.

Guy must have been a runner/gunner and left the car running.

The runners I know wrap it around the steering wheel.

If the thief used 3 points of contact, buckled their seatbelt, checked the mirrors, and cleared their intersection; they’re hired.

Not so much a runner move as a save your shoulder move.
