TABUK: Leaving the car engine running and the door and AC open to withdraw money or buy something from a shop is a common sight in the streets of the Kingdom. However, such an act can be risky if a female relative or child is seated on the backseat.

A similar incident happened in Tabuk recently. A video, which was taken by a passerby and posted on social media, grabbed the attention of a large number of people. The video shows a woman getting down from a parked car immediately after a thief takes the wheel.

According to local media, the driver left the car on to get something and the woman seated on the backseat was not visible because of the vehicle's tinted windowpanes. The thief got in to drive away the car, but the woman immediately got down and raised an alarm. The man, however, fled with the car.

In the video, the thief is seen trying to run over the woman as she, but fails and drives off with the vehicle.
