While Doc is in the hardware store, Einstein is asleep in the back of the DeLorean when it is stolen by a couple of bank robbers (Sidney and Frankie) who have just left Hill Valley Savings & Loans. The robbers activate the DeLorean's time clock (Frankie has been asked how many "clams" they got in the theft, and, counting $1,790 he replies, "Seventeen-ninety, Sidney!") and head to Sydney, Australia, 1790.
