A THIEF who stole a car with a caravan attached got away with more than he bargained for -- as the two owners were in the back.
Australian police said the couple, aged in their 60s, were picking up a new caravan from a dealer in the Adelaide suburb of Blair Athol on Monday around noon.
While a sales manager was showing the couple some of the features of their new purchase, a thief jumped into their car as the keys had been left in the ignition and drove away.
"The sales manager managed to jump from the caravan as it was driven away. The suspect then crashed into another car...and drove away from the scene at speed, over kerbs, with the terrified couple still in the caravan," police said in a statement.
The thief abandoned the car and caravan several streets away before running off, leaving the unharmed couple behind but taking their digital camera with him.
