Couple watches cars being stolen live on camera, only able to yell at the burglars in vain
A Canberra family watched in horror, live on camera, as two masked burglars, broke into their Kaleen home and drove away with their two expensive cars early on Saturday. The minutes that followed were more dramatic as the female victim yelled out "get the f--- out of my house" through the CCTV camera speaker, leading the perpetrators to take off in the cars. Her son gave chase after two of their family cars through parts of north Canberra but stopped when told by police it was too dangerous. Stephen and Cassandra's were on a work trip to Nhill in Victoria last weekend when Cassandra's phone lit up about 6.30am on Saturday. "I saw 10 to 15 video alerts on my phone and I logged in to see two masked men standing in our driveway. I immediately rang the police and our son who lives nearby to check on the house," Cassandra told The Canberra Times. The family were remote witnesses to the scenes of the burglars entering their home of 26 years, breaking open the back door. "They wore gloves and took off their shoes, possibly not to make noise. They searched through the house before reaching the cup carrying the spare car keys on the first floor," Stephen said. With the family's pet cats still on the first floor, the burglars took the keys and returned to the driveway. "It was very unsettling to see one with a baseball bat in hand. We believe 100 per cent, they thought we were at home as all cars were in the driveway and had come prepared. It is very disturbing," said Cassandra. As the couple watched the masked and hooded men getting ready to take their cars - a Ford Mustang and a Toyota C-HR - Cassandra remembered the camera voice feature. "I yelled out to the men through the outdoor camera speaker and that caught them by surprise. Stunned and staring up at us for a second, they quickly got into the cars and drove away," she said. The family said they were in touch with ACT Policing as the burglary unfolded. The couple's son who lives in Bruce was rushing to his family home when he saw his dad's Mustang, with its distinctive rego plate, drive in the opposite direction past the North Canberra Hospital. "Out of instinct, he did a U-ey and followed the vehicle for 15 minutes. When they reached McKellar, the thief realised he was made. He then turned around the vehicle, facing my son and flashed the lights, possibly as a warning," recalled Stephen. But with the concerned family asking him to back off, the son returned only to then encounter his mother's Toyota in front of him. "He followed it to Giralang but stopped after police advised it was too dangerous to follow as the driver was driving erratically and at top speeds," Cassandra added. The Kaleen couple who were "shaken" by Saturday's events said the responding ACT Policing team were "incredibly impressive", telling them their stolen cars were recovered within two days. Investigating teams visited the crime scene and other houses in the streets the men attempted to break into. "I was inside the house and my camera caught the two trying to open the doors and windows possibly for my Mercedes parked inside," a 65-year-old woman neighbour told The Canberra Times. Both families are planning on upgrading their security systems in and around their homes. ACT Policing said no arrests have been made in the case and inquiries are ongoing.

Subaru's New EV Will Be Named After a Video Game
Subaru is cooking up a new electric crossover. And now, we know what it'll be called: Uncharted. Sadly, the name was likely chosen to exude a sense of adventure and ruggedness, rather than to pay tribute to the excellent Uncharted video game series published by Sony. Either way, the compact SUV's debut is exactly one week away, and a teaser photo suggests it could share a platform with a Toyota EV. The Japanese carmaker released a single image of the Uncharted, far from the camera and shrouded in dust. But the rear end's proportions look suspiciously similar to another new EV from Japan: The Toyota C-HR . Though the image isn't very revealing, the dual-mini spoilers sprouting from the roof and the main spoiler on top of the trunk lid seem to match up perfectly. And while the taillight bar is shaped differently, the light pattern itself looks similar. The 2026 Toyota C-HR Photo by: Toyota Subaru has yet to confirm any of this, of course. But the tie-up makes sense. Subaru and Toyota already work together to produce the bZ4X and the Solterra , two electric crossovers that share a platform and much of their design. A rumor from October 2024 said the two brands were teaming up once again to build another electric crossover. And judging by the shape of the Uncharted, it looks like that rumor is true. If the two cars share a platform, the Uncharted will likely use the C-HR's 74.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack and dual electric motors, rated in the Toyota at 338 horsepower, with an estimated range of 290 miles. We suspect Subaru will have its way with styling, as it did with the Solterra, which could have a small effect on final range numbers. The Uncharted will be the third EV in Subaru's lineup, following the Solterra and the Trailseeker . Whether it's related to the C-HR or not, it should make the compact electric crossover segment even more interesting. With a global debut scheduled for July 17 and 7:30 PM ET, we won't have to wait long to see it fully revealed. More on Subaru Subaru Made the World's Only Twin-Turbo Flat-Four.

Australia's best-selling hybrids halfway through 2025
Toyota is still by far Australia's hybrid vehicle market leader, with just one of its hybrids alone – the RAV4 – outselling the number two and three hybrid auto brands so far this year. Only one other brand cracked five-digit hybrid deliveries in the first half of 2025, according to VFACTS sales data, and that was Hyundai. There are far fewer hybrid vehicles on sale in Australia than electric vehicles (EVs), but hybrids account for a larger share of new-car sales overall. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. A total of 93,746 hybrids (HEVs) were delivered during the first half of 2025, compared with 25,613 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and 47,245 EVs. This means that of the total of 624,130 new vehicles delivered in Australia during the first six months of 2025, 15 per cent were hybrids, 7.6 per cent were EVs, and 4.1 per cent were PHEVs. Hybrid sales were up 14.9 per cent compared with the first half of 2024. Below is a chart listing all the brands that sell hybrids in Australia. Note this doesn't include PHEVs or mild-hybrids, though it does include Nissan's e-Power vehicles. Below is a chart listing all the hybrid models offered in Australia. A total of eight of the top 10 best-selling hybrids were produced by Toyota Motor Corporation, with the other two being Hyundais. The GWM Tank 500, Honda Accord, Lexus LM, Toyota C-HR and Toyota Tundra are exclusively offered with hybrid power. Where a model line also includes other powertrain types, we've calculated the percentage of sales the hybrid variants account for. There's also a caveat with other Toyotas that are listed in the table above. All Toyota model lines available with a hybrid powertrain lost their standard petrol-powered variants last year, though evidently there was still some leftover stock of certain petrol-only Toyotas. The Toyota Yaris and Corolla tallies also include the GR Yaris and GR Corolla. Lexus has also discontinued petrol-only versions of models like the ES, due to their high hybrid take-up rates. GM Australia and New Zealand splits out its Chevrolet Corvette delivery figures across separate Stingray, Z06 and E-Ray entries. Lump them all together, however, and just 3.9 per cent of Corvettes delivered in the first half of this year were E-Rays.
