Thief steals car... with two women sitting in it

A car thief hunting for a fresh victim thought it was his lucky day when he spotted a vehicle parked near a clinic while the engine was on.

He simply got in and drove away, apparently delighted by how easy the operation was but unaware of the two women in the back seat.

“Just as he drove away, the two women started to scream…he did not want to give up, so he stopped the car and ordered them out,” the Arabic language Alriyadh newspaper said in a report from the capital Riyadh.

“Police later tracked down the car and arrested the thief after he was seen by passers by…the car owner told the police his wife and mother were in the back seat when the thief stole the vehicle.”
