Alanna Jayne Rieschke has failed to front Albury Local Court on a charge of being carried in a conveyance taken without consent.
The court likewise had to issue a warrant for the woman behind the wheel, Mikaela Morgan, when she also failed to appear in court.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Morgan, 19, was later arrested on the warrant and is being held in custody, bail refused, on this and other charges.
Magistrate Miranda Moody issued the warrant after an application from prosecutor Sergeant Andrew Pike.
Morgan, the court was told, had made contact over Facebook with a man who she wanted to give them a lift to an address elsewhere in Albury.
She and Rieschke, 41, then left Morgan's home and spoke to the victim.
Morgan wanted to borrow the car, she told him, but didn't want the victim to come along.
The man refused, but after Morgan told him her parents got anxious when she didn't drive he changed his mind.
On the way they stopped at a service station on Union Road.
Petrol was put in the car and the man went inside to pay, only to have Morgan drive away without him.
Morgan remains in custody awaiting sentence on September 27.
That is on charges of car theft and driving while disqualified.
She has also pleaded guilty to two unrelated charges of goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen.
Police arrested Morgan in West Albury on August 3.
A search uncovered another woman's Medicare card and driver's licence.
