Thief steals car with woman still inside

A thief was caught on camera leaping into a car in Saudi Arabia and stealing it while a woman was inside. But she managed to jump out just as he reversed and drove away.

A YouTube video posted on social networks showed the thief pretending to be speaking on his mobile phone as he stalked the car when he heard its engine buzzing.

As he opened the door and jumped in, a woman wearing a black Arabian abaya (gown) leapt out of the car. He quickly reversed and drove away, narrowly missing hitting her. 

The Arabic language daily Ajel, which published the film, said the incident took place in the Northwestern Saudi town of Tabuk near the border with Jordan.
