Australian police said the couple, aged in their 60s,
were picking up a new trailer 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 trailer several streets
away before running off, leaving the unharmed couple behind but taking their
digital camera with him.
