Surveillance video captured two teens jumping into Selina Gonzalez's car after she left the keys in the ignition at a gas station in Hammond on Thursday.
Her car was later found and brought to a tow lot in Harvey. The car is no longer drivable, so Mayor Eric Kellogg replaced the car.
"They don't know me, you know. I'm from a whole different state. They didn't have to help someone that they don't know, that's not a part of their community and to be treated like I am a part of the community is just amazing," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez has two children and a third on the way, which she's expecting in less than two weeks.
