ATLANTA — An Atlanta homeowner's surveillance video captured the moments thieves ditched a stolen car in his driveway, police said.
Now, police are asking for the public's help to identify the men.
Channel 2's Michael Seiden got the video of the incident, which happened around 4 a.m. Saturday on Plymouth Road near Marietta Boulevard.
The video shows a Chrysler 300 sedan pulling into a driveway and a driver and passenger jumping out and sprinting across a backyard.
The homeowner didn't realize what happened until he woke up to find the stolen vehicle in his driveway.

So far, police have not been able to identify the thieves, but they believe the same men may have crashed into a police car outside an apartment complex on Huff Road.
Police said that minutes before the men jumped out of the Chrysler, police were investigating a hit-and-run nearby where the same make and model car backed into a patrol car and drove off.
The only difference? Police say the car in the video had a Wisconsin license plate, while the other car had an out-of-state plate from Ohio.
The homeowner who captured the video didn't want to talk on camera, but he told Seiden that the damage on the car that ended up in his driveway was consistent with what happened a couple of miles away outside the apartment building.
No one was injured in the hit-and-run.
Police are asking anyone who recognizes the men to call them.
