A Romanian thief was arrested after his getaway car ran out of fuel after just half a mile.
The 27-year-old man snatched a bag containing ?20,000 from the front seat of a car in Bucharest.
He jumped into a car driven by an accomplice - but they didn't get far before it ran out of petrol.
Police said the thieves knew their victim was collecting takings from a chemist and snatched the bag while he was starting his car.
The thief was caught by an employee of the chemist and a security guard who handed him to the police.
The getaway driver managed to escape on foot and is still at large.
