A couple of thieves used manpower and a flatbed tow truck to swipe a Smart Car off a quiet Philadelphia street.
Surveillance video from the victim's porch captured the theft along Roumfort Road in Philadelphia's Mt. Airy neighborhood early Saturday.
The thieves somehow got Marian Fioravanti’s 2013 white Smart Car with a black roof into neutral then pushed it up onto a flatbed truck around 1:55 a.m. The 2013 Smart Car model weighs just under a ton and has a key that's needed to start the car.
"I’m devastated," Fioravanti, a teacher who has lived in the neighborhood for most of the past four-plus decades, told NBC10.
"This is not just a stolen vehicle, this is a source of livelihood... this is how I get to work each day," Fioravanti said.
Philadelphia Police have been investigating the theft.
Fioravanti says she has been overwhelmed by support on social media as she tries to get her car back.
