Police tracking owners of a caravan which almost crashed into a Melbourne home

A caravan has narrowly missed hitting a Melbourne home after coming loose from a car.

The 10 metre caravan travelled about 100m after it became unhitched, smashing through a fence and stopping just short of a family's home in Hampton Park this morning. 

Police believe the caravan, which has four bedrooms and a shower block, may have been stolen and are trying to track down its owners.
