A Nanaimo woman made a strange discovery this week when she found a naked man in the trunk of her car.
Bethany Coker, an automotive technician, found mud smeared on the seat of her car and elsewhere in the vehicle Saturday, Jan. 30, but it was another three days before she discovered a man had been hiding in the trunk of her vehicle. When she did discover the man Tuesday, Feb. 1, he was completely naked.
She posted on her TikTok social media account a video of herself questioning the man, who is partially visible through gaps in the backseat centre console of the Subaru. The TikTok video can be seen at .
B次元官网网址淲hy are you in my trunk and are you naked?B次元官网网址� Coker asked.
B次元官网网址淵eah,B次元官网网址� the man responded. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a rite of passage.B次元官网网址�
When several Nanaimo RCMP officers arrived to retrieve the man he asked, before getting out of the trunk of the car, if he could put his pants on.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檇 really appreciate that,B次元官网网址� replied one of the officers in the video.
Staff Sgt. John Blaase, of the Nanaimo RCMP, said officers who responded to the scene took the man to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for a psychological assessment. He said the incident was a new one for him as a police officer.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e been doing this now for 34 years and I have to say itB次元官网网址檚 the first time IB次元官网网址檝e had that issue,B次元官网网址� Blaase said.
He said he didnB次元官网网址檛 understand how the carB次元官网网址檚 owner would not have noticed something amiss during the three days prior to discovering the man in her trunk.
Blaase said although the incident would have been a frightening experience for a vehicle owner, it appeared the man was not planning anything nefarious and, given the circumstances, itB次元官网网址檚 unlikely he will face any charges.
The staff sergeant advised people to keep their vehicles locked to prevent others from gaining easy access.
As of press time, Coker hadnB次元官网网址檛 responded to requests for comment.
