Woman turns parking lot into demo derby

In the parking lot of a store in Los Angeles, California, a woman attempted to steal a person’s car just seconds after stealing her purse.

After getting the vehicle started, the carjacker began running into a large handful of other cars in the parking lot as she struggled to steer the sedan.

According to a report from an NBC station local to the incident, the car had an anti-theft device attached to the steering wheel causing her to not be able to turn it very easily.

Luckily for the owners of all the damaged vehicles, bystanders were able to remove the thief from the car and place her under citizen’s arrest until the police showed up to arrest her.

According to the report, two people were hurt and treated at the scene of the woman’s escapades.
