Authorities in Orlando, Fla., are searching Thursday for two armed men who stole a woman's car packed with donated Christmas presents to her daughters.

Shana Indiverti, 21, said she was removing gifts for her two daughters, ages 1 and 3, from the trunk of her car at the Village Lakes apartments in Rosemont Wednesday night when two men approached her.

The men threatened her with a gun and then stole her Hyundai Elantra, with nearly all of girl's Christmas presents packed inside, Local 6 News reported.

  • "It is supposed to be a happy time," Shana Indiverti said. "It is supposed to be everyone helping each other and giving. It is supposed to be like that any way but Christmas is just…I'm just happy I'm alive. At least they did not hurt me."

    "He had it pointing at my face and the other one was standing behind him pointing (the gun)," crime victim Shana Indiverti said.

    The presents inside the car were donated to Indiverti and her daughters in a radio station's giveaway.

    "It is supposed to be a happy time," Indiverti said. "It is supposed to be everyone helping each other and giving. It is supposed to be like that anyway but Christmas is just…I'm just happy I'm alive. At least they did not hurt me."

    Police are searching for a 2005 gold Hyundai Elantra with Florida tag H31 ABF.

    If you have any information concerning this crime, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
