KISSIMMEE, Fla. – In a move that screams “Florida, hold my energy drink,” a 33-year-old woman allegedly stole a pregnant mom’s car from a car wash and turned it into a demolition derby champion.
Helen Marie, a soon-to-be mom of three, had just dropped her kids off at daycare and stopped to wash her car—because nothing says “responsible adult” like keeping your ride clean while preparing for a newborn. But while she was grabbing her floor mats, Chanel Aisha Anderson decided Marie’s car looked like the perfect Uber for a joyride.
Marie thought the screeching tires were just an overzealous car wash attendant. Spoiler alert: They were not.
Anderson allegedly floored it out of the car wash, sideswiping multiple vehicles before T-boning a tanker truck and finishing her performance by wrapping the car around a pole—because why exit stage left when you can go full Fast & Furious?
The aftermath? $20,000 in damage, multiple people sent to the hospital, and Marie left with diapers full of shattered glass—because nothing says “baby prep” like salvaging Pampers from a crime scene.
Now, Marie is stuck without a car, relying on the kindness of strangers through a GoFundMe while Anderson gets a free ride—just not the kind she wanted.
Moral of the story? If you see someone hopping into your car in Florida, assume it’s not the valet.
