Her neighbor across the was victim to strange behavior as well. The incident was caught on camera, and Hernandez said two cars, one of which was her mother’s, pulled up next to one another.
“My neighbor around the corner of my house got the video of this Florida plate driver, and then my mom’s car side by side. They did a U-turn and then they both headed out,” Hernandez said.
Hernandez, posted about the incident on social media and soon realized she wasn’t alone. As the same vehicle involved in her car theft was seen around other parts of the community.

“The plates matched the same car that Lizeth had posted on Facebook,”
JoAnne’s claimed these individuals drove around at all hours of the evening, sitting in their vehicles, potentially casing neighborhoods.
