"I couldn't believe it, I thought it was something out of a movie. This is something you see in the movies, where your car's on blocks," Brown said.
The theft meant Brown had to miss her college classes Monday morning.
Brown also said police told her this kind of crime has been happening a lot in Taylor.
"They said it has happened to ten other vehicles in the last week and they had actually gotten a call right before we had called to another car that was two miles up the road," Brown said.
The thieves have reportedly been targeting Ford Fusion and Taurus models.
Jolene Brown said police told her the thieves are professionals, who can remove all four wheels from the car in minutes.
