A New Jersey man helped police locate a man who allegedly stole a bakery truck and continued to make deliveries in his underwear, according to a report from the New York Post.

Police told the newspaper David Bastar, 30, of Nanuet, N.Y., stole a Grimaldi's Home of Bread truck on Second Avenue near East 99th Street around 3 a.m Monday.

According to the report, Bastar continued to make deliveries in his underwear to at least three restaurants and stores that were mapped out on a piece of paper on the front seat.

After making the deliveries, Bastar allegedly headed to Queens with the truck and began tailing a limo driver over the 59th Street Bridge.

"He was tailing me very, very closely," the driver, 43-year-old Armondo Sigcha, of Guttenberg, told The Post. "When I'm speeding up, he's speeding up. When I slow down, he slows down."

Sigcha called police, who pulled Bastar over near LaGuardia Airport's Central Terminal, the report said.

Bastar has been taken to Elmhurst Hospital for psychiatric evaluation. He was charged with criminal possession of a stolen vehicle and released into his parents' supervised care.
