Jermaine Goolagong faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Saturday in relation to three charges, including stealing a car, intentionally damaging property and stealing belongings.
No pleas were entered.
Police allege the man stole a silver Ford Territory from a home in Griffith on March 1. The stolen car was found alight in Narrabundah about 7.55am the following day, police said.
It is alleged the offender also broke into a car in Deakin on March 1, smashing the window, from which he stole a handbag, licence, phone and watch.
The court heard the man was on bail for an aggravated burglary at the time of the alleged offences. The man has previously entered a plea of not guilty to that offence.
The court heard he was waiting for a place at a drug and alcohol detox facility in Canberra.
The man was refused bail. He will appear before the court again on May 2.
Police said investigations were ongoing.
