Police allege a man and a woman got out of the SUV, approached the Holden, and the woman screamed at one of the occupants and demanded money.
Investigators believe the man used a hammer to damage the Holden before demanding one of the Holden occupants’ phone, which she refused to hand over.
The man took the keys to the Holden, and left with the woman in the white SUV, police said.
No-one was physically injured during the incident.
The man has been described as in his early 20s with dark hair, and the woman has been described as in her early 20s with shoulder-length blonde/brown hair, police said.
