WA Cops: Woman Takes FF's Wallet After Thanking Him

Authorities are investigating an incident captured on video showing a woman apparently walking off with a Washington firefighter's dropped wallet after she had just thanked him last week.

A security camera captured the incident at a Littlerock gas station Friday, KIRO-TV reports. That's when a woman began talking to Yakima County Emergency Management Director Tony Miller, a longtime Selah firefighter, and thanked him for his work during wildfire season.

Miller was part of a firefighting team that traveled to Thurston County last week to help battle the Mima brush fire.

“Disappointed. This community, for this fire, has been overwhelmingly welcome to us and thanking us," he told KIRO. "Just surprised.”

Thurston County sheriff’s deputies haven't located the woman, but they have seen her in the area. And Miller isn't letting the experience sour his time in the county.

“I have holds on all the credit cards but I’d still like them back,” Miller told KIRO. “I don’t hold anything against the community. They’ve been awesome to us.”
