BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- Talk about a rude awakening.

A Massachusetts man woke with a jolt in the parking lot next to his home early on Tuesday after a stolen car plowed into his one-room house, pushing his double bed through the front wall, police said on Wednesday.

"The driver of the stolen car failed to navigate a turn and crashed into the house sending the resident and his bed outside. That is where he woke up," said Dennis Police Department Lt. Martin Murphy.

Murphy said Ellis Thomas, 34, was shocked but not seriously hurt. "He thought someone had broken into the house," Murphy said.

The man who barreled into the Cape Cod house escaped in another stolen car and has not been found, Murphy said.
