A video of an Audi plowing through a mall has gone viral but the details behind the video are quite bizarre.
It all started when a Canadian woman Taylor-Anna Kobinger listed her car for sale on the Facebook marketplace for $12,000.
Shortly after Kobinger listed her car on the marketplace, a man contacted and asked for a test drive to which Kobinger agreed.
During the test drive the man started to drive erratically and Kobinger demanded to be let out of the car.

The man would then drive the car inside a closed mall and steal electronics.

The Star reported these details:
A Quebec woman said she was left “speechless” when York Regional Police called to say her stolen car was involved in a “smash-inside-and-grab” burglary in Vaughan Mills mall early on Wednesday.
Taylor-Anna Kobinger said she listed her 2011 Audi A4 on Facebook Marketplace for $12,000 in late January to help with a down payment on a house.
“I wanted to put cash down for a house,” said Kobinger, admitting that she was reluctant to sell the car but was doing so out of necessity. “I didn’t really have a choice.”
On Sunday, Kobinger said a man responded to her advertisement and she went with him to take the vehicle for a test drive.
The first test drive went normally, said Kobinger. But during the second test drive, she said the man started driving erratically.
She said she felt unsafe and asked to take over driving the car, and the man agreed. When she got out of the vehicle, Kobinger alleges the man sped away — with the door still open and his left foot hanging out of the car.
Police released security footage from the mall, showing the car smashing through the glass entrance and then driving inside through the mall. Police told the Star that the suspects took a “quantity of electronics” once they were inside. The vehicle was found later on Wednesday.

Fox News had more details to add:
Police in Ontario, Canada, have released a video showing a car racing through the interior of a mall in the search for two suspects accused of stealing items from an electronics store.
The incident happened around 1:10 a.m. Wednesday at the Vaughan Mills shopping mall in Vaughan, outside Toronto.
“The vehicle was then driven through the mall and into an electronics store where the suspects stole a quantity of items. The vehicle drove out of the mall through a second entrance,” York Regional Police said in a statement. “Fortunately, no one was injured.”
Video shows a black Audi sedan speeding through the mall’s parking lot before crashing through a set of glass doors at one of the building’s entrances.
Surveillance cameras from inside the mall then showed the car driving through its interior, past locked-up storefronts, kiosks and vending machines.
Five minutes later, cameras captured the car wrecking another entrance of the mall by driving through the glass doors.
