KENNEWICK, Wash. (KEPR) – A man experienced instant karma over the weekend when his pickup was stolen while he was robbing the business across the street, police say.

The incident unfolded at around 6 a.m. Sunday when Kennewick police responded to reports of vehicle theft.

The vehicle’s owner told officers someone had stolen his red 1992 Chevrolet pickup. The owner had left his keys behind on the seat, and a thief drove off with the truck.

But after surveillance video was reviewed, police discovered that the reason the pickup owner had left his truck was because he was off stealing items from a business across the street.

The pickup owner was then booked in the Benton County jail on a warrant and a new burglary charge.

His pickup is still missing.
