Police led on bizarre high-speed chase because of stolen second-hand floral armchair

Police in Australia were led on a bizarre high-speed chase through Adelaide’s north eastern suburbs because of a stolen second-hand floral armchair.
Patrols spotted the arm chair in the boot of a Mitsubishi sedan in Modbury at about 2.40am on Tuesday and tried to pull over the driver, but she sped off.
The chair fell out of the vehicle before the driver dumped the vehicle and fled on foot. Two police dogs were unable to help officers locate the driver. The chair had been donated to the Salvation Army’s Modbury store earlier in the night.

The Salvation Army said thefts like that occur almost every night, by people who are often not the most desperate. “They often do re-sell them which is very disappointing,” Ryan Steele from the Salvation Army said. The armchair - even with its matching partner which was left at the charity store - is worth less than $50.
