Thought you might be interested in knowing that a member of the Gig Harbor Y caught a visitor stealing his wallet from his locker at the Y last week.

It caused quite a stir as the bandit tried to leave with the member chasing him wrapped in only a towel.

Suspect was arrested and has pled not guilty. Case will go to trial.
