A U-Haul stolen out of Puyallup on Wednesday morning was recovered by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department later that day, along with most of its driver’s belongings.
The driver – who was in the process of moving to Washington - had parked his Jeep and the U-Haul he was towing outside of a Puyallup hotel on Tuesday night.
When he went outside early Wednesday, his jeep and U-Haul had been stolen.
The back of the U-Haul had been left open and the man’s belongings had been rummaged through, with some of his items left outside.
Later that afternoon, deputies responded to a suspicious vehicle call in Spanaway and located the missing U-Haul.
As the man who was unable to get to the scene without his stolen Jeep, deputies loaded and secured the man’s U-Haul for him.
The U-Haul was transported to a tow yard to secure it until the man could claim his property later.
A suspect has not been identified.
