A shopper in southern Australia was apprehended by police after driving home in the wrong car.
Two
grey hatchbacks – one a Hyundai, the other a Toyota – were left next to
each other in a car park on St Vincent Street in Stansbury near
Adelaide.
Both cars were left unlocked with the keys in the ignition.
When
a fellow shopper saw his Hyundai being driven away, he immediately
called police. Back-up patrols were sent from four surrounding areas.
Stansbury
officers noticed a grey Toyota hatchback in the bay next to where the
missing Hyundai had been parked. When they noticed it was also unlocked
with the keys in the ignition, they suspected an innocent mistake had
been made.
The
‘stolen’ Hyundai was located in the driveway of a very apologetic
Stansbury man, and was quickly returned to the man at the shops.
The embarrassed driver was taken by police back to his Toyota. No charges were brought against him.
