The owners of a Canberra massage parlour are picking up what remains of the pieces of the business after a car ploughed into it on Friday, injuring five people.
Three employees were initially pinned under the car, which remained deep inside the building for some time after being driven into Harmony Tree Therapeutic Massage and Day Spa in Weston.
The massage parlour was then targeted by thieves on the night of the crash, with a staff member's phone, car keys, house keys, and ATM card stolen.

Harmoney Tree employee Hannah Maloney, who was not present during the crash, told ABC Radio Canberra one of the three employees taken to hospital remained there with a broken hip.
"They had to have two operations … but their condition is stable now,"
Ms Maloney said.
She said the other two employees who were taken to hospital after being trapped under the vehicle had now returned home.

Ms Maloney said staff who were there during the incident had told her "it happened so fast they did not even know what happened".
"A second later they realised the building was smashed," she said.
"She did not even notice the car was inside. They were just totally shocked."
Ms Maloney said it had been a particularly difficult time for one of the store's owners, Sukanya Loasoe, who had given birth just five days before the crash.

"She's crying, actually. She's worried," Ms Maloney said.
"She was still in recovering time, that kind of busy time, and then this unexpectedly happens.
"The car just smashed everything to pieces, [there's] nearly nothing left."
Ms Maloney said despite it being a challenging time for the business, she and the other staff were grateful to the community for the offerings of love and support they had received.
"We are really grateful … [for our] family and friends, and even wonderful customers that have tried to give us support," she said.
"We hope that we can reopen our door soon."
