A roadside stop turned terrifying when a man stole a Toyota Tundra with a 15-year-old asleep inside, briefly carrying off the unsuspecting teen. The episode is a chilling reminder to secure a vehicle whenever someone remains aboard during a break.

End-of-summer travel often means quick stops along the route, but those pauses can leave families exposed. Authorities point to the incident as a cautionary tale about never leaving a running or unlocked vehicle with a passenger inside, even briefly.
