A 92-year-old man left taped to a chair after a home-invasion robbery chewed through the restraints to free himself on Monday, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff spokesman John Urquhart said the victim, who lives alone in a home on 205th in North Shoreline, answered a knock at his door at about 11 a.m. Monday. The two men outside said their car had broken down and asked to use the victim's phone.

When he let them inside, the men taped him to a chair in the kitchen and spent more than an hour looking through the house for valuables. They took about $400 in cash and stole the homeowner's pickup truck. The victim was stuck in the chair for two more hours while he chewed his way through the tape to get free. He suffered some bruises but was not seriously injured.
The robbers were described as white men, both about 5-feet-8 inches tall and about 165 pounds. The truck they stole is a gold 2000 Ford Ranger with Washington License B34861L. The truck has a silver bulldog on the hood.
