The unlucky thieves were driving a Mitsubishi Shogun after they stole the keys from a house in Highley, near Bridgnorth.
But they were forced to abandon the vehicle after it became stuck in a ford in Shropshire.
Superintendent James Tozer said: "The car became stuck in a ford which connects Highley and Billingsley.
"We have recovered the car but they weren't in it. We have a forensics team doing investigations on the car."
The incident happened on Monday.
