SEATTLE, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A "very intoxicated" Lynnwood, Wash., woman allegedly decided to take a limo for a joyride after the driver stopped to use the restroom, a report says.

The woman was one of several customers waiting in the black stretch Ford Excursion limousine in downtown Seattle when the Able Limousine Services driver stepped into the Tiki Bob's Cantina bathroom, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Monday.

She was reportedly sleeping when the driver left the keys in the ignition and went to relieve himself, but when he returned the limo was gone.

Police quickly located the vehicle and pulled the 36-year-old woman over.

Police said she was "very intoxicated" and was arrested on suspicion of car theft.
