Violated, devastated and heartbroken.
That is how Balclutha mother Amber Field feels after her car, packed full of her family's personal belongings from their Twizel holiday, was stolen from the McDonald's Oamaru car park on Sunday.
Field, her husband Anthony, and their children Tyler Stephen, 14, Aydan, 8, Tilly, 5, and Lavana, 2, stopped for lunch about 11.30am, and returned to the car park to find their gold 2007 Toyota Camry gone.
While still holding the keys to her car, Field watched security footage showing two men pulling up next to her vehicle, checking it over, before one of them drove off in it.
