Car thief trapped in target vehicle.
CANBERRA (Reuters) – A bungling Australian car thief was nabbed after accidentally locking himself in the vehicle he was trying to steal, police said Wednesday.
“‘The man, while breaking into the car, had locked himself in the car and couldn’t get out,’ South Australian police said, adding a second thief was found hiding in nearby bushes.”
What was the second thief’s excuse? That he couldn’t escape because his partner never came to get him in the stolen getaway vehicle?

Every car I’ve ever been in which was equipped with central locking, had a button or lever which would unlock the doors. Most often it was identified by a little pictogram of a door.
The second thief probably stayed in the bushes because he had peed himself from laughing so hard.
Sounds like the theives were Lenny and Squiggy from ‘Happy Days’
