We've all been there. It sucks to forget where you parked.

You should probably remember when you've parked a hire car on the beach though, and also take note of the tides -- unless you want the vehicle to go swimming.

Nick van Vliet from Willunga, Australia, was on a walk with his wife and dog when he captured this video of a car getting gradually wrecked by the surf on Thursday morning.

But there was no driver to be seen. Creepy.

"I was down at the beach with my wife and dog in the morning and we saw the car submerged in water so we went over to make sure no one was hurt," Van Vliet told The Advertiser.

"There was a lady that was already there and she said she had called police."

Van Vliet said that he had noticed the car before, with a woman sleeping in it. "The last time we saw her, she had parked very close to the water as well. She must park by the water and forget the tide is coming up," he told the newspaper.

South Australia police said that following their inquiries, the driver of the hire car was located "safe and well."

Guess it's a bit of a dampener for the owner of the hired car, then.
