The Woman was oblivious to the fact it was a completely different vehicle
A Canadian woman has “stolen” a complete stranger’s car, in what is an almost unbelievable carpark stuff-up.
It all started when the unnamed woman rented a black Nissan Sentra from a company in Cornwall, Ontario in Canada.
She then drove straight to a Walmart department store for a few supplies, before returning to what she thought was her car in the car park.
The woman got into the unlocked car, pressed the keyless start button, and drove off — oblivious to the fact it was a completely different vehicle, and that she was in fact 'stealing a car.'
She then proceeded to drive around in the car for an entire two-weeks! And only realised something was wrong upon attempting to return the car to the rental company.
Keyless cars can be operated as long as the key fob is located inside the car, which was left inside by the owner.
In a lengthy Facebook post, the Cornwall Community Police Service warned motorists to never leave key fobs in cars when not in use.
“The woman spoke to the manager and commented about how unkept [sic] the inside of the vehicle was and the fact that there was a set of golf clubs in it as well,” the post read.
“The woman was not impressed and handed over the keys. The manager, now slightly confused, observed the keys to belong to an Infinity, a vehicle the woman did not rent.
“The manager … proceeded to ask her where she went after leaving the car rental two weeks ago. The woman informed him of her activities.”
The pair returned to the Walmart parking lot, and the woman took the manager to the spot where she had parked her rental car — only to find it still sitting there as she had left it.
“The manager and the woman, who was now confused and a wee bit embarrassed herself, returned to the car rental company and contacted police, providing the information for the Infiniti and what took place.”
