"Freaking pissed,” she says. That's what I was and what my husband was."
However, she was shy about revealing her identity. She did not want to share her name or face on camera.
"I thought my husband had went up the street and I heard the car start but it wasn't him and I just told him the car is being stolen, the car, the car," she says.
She's afraid she could be a target again. It was around two in the morning when she says the thief jimmied the lock on her car that was parked in her driveway on Tabatha Circle in the Michaels Woods neighborhood. They drove off, but she says it wasn't long before police were able to find her car thanks to OnStar.
