A Perth man has been left bewildered after a tow truck delivered a car to his property and left it unlocked in his driveway.
The tow truck driver confirmed the delivery address in High Wycombe, Perth, before unloading the 4WD Jeep in the driveway.
Before the homeowner could ask where the vehicle had come from and to whom it might belong, the truck driver drove away.
After reporting the erroneous delivery to police, the man took to social media to ask for advice.
'We did not understand what just happened here,' he wrote alongside a picture of the car
'Tow-away truckie shows up reversing into our front yard, dumps this car here stating (and displaying) they have the correct address... and then proceeds to leave.'
He said the car appeared to be a rental and he did not anticipate police would become involved as the vehicle was not reported as stolen.
He added the tow truck driver was 'rushing' when he departed the property.

The main could not even take the car for a spin if he wanted to, as there were no keys delivered with the vehicle.
Social media users were similarly bewildered by the delivery.
One user commented simply: 'This is such a weird f***ing problem to have'.
'Some poor bastard owns this car, it’s barely a year old, broken down to the point of needing a tow, life already sucks enough, then the tow truck driver who probably can’t spell anyway wrote down the wrong address,' another user said.
'Everyone loses.'
Tony, the owner of Sydney-based towing company First Choice Towing, told Daily Mail Australia he had never heard of a situation like this.
'It could be a stolen car. He needs to give the registration to police,' he said.
The vehicle was left without keys and the homeowner is unable to remove it from the property
'This could be something serious'.
Without the consent of the owner, Tony said, the vehicle was classified as 'dumped' and should be reported to police.
A spokesperson for Western Australian Police told Daily Mail Australia: 'This doesn't appear to be a police matter - If the "incident" is simply a vehicle parked at an address in High Wycombe.'
'If the vehicle has simply been left at an address, it would fall to the department of transport or local council to tow the vehicle,' the spokesperson said.
