An 80-year-old Villager who had just finished a game of golf arrived back home back in time to watch a thief drive off in his truck Monday morning.

The Villager left his home in the Ivystone Villas in the Village of Woodbury at 6:15 a.m. to go golf, according to an incident report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
