Mrs Tandy said she began to panic when she woke up and saw her car missing from outside her house.

She said: "It is horrendous, it has left me feeling violated.

"I noticed the car was missing at about 6.45am and immediately started panicking.

"Thanks to neighbours we have been able to paint a picture of when it was taken.

"Some neighbours have reported seeing someone around the same time of the theft trying car doors.

"I am just really gutted."

Mrs Tandy said there was no sign of a break-in and the only thing to be taken was her car.

She said: "Our home has not been entered and there is no sign of any attempt that has been made.

"There also was not any broken glass from the car on the drive or near our home that would have suggested a break-in.

"I have sent everything to the police and am hoping something can be done."

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "We can confirm we have received a report of a theft of a vehicle at 7am this morning (Friday, April 28) in South Croft, Worcester.
