A young mom’s trip to buy diapers in Queens early Sunday led to “the worst two hours” of her life, when her car was stolen with her toddler inside.
Karina Rojas, 28, had ducked into a bodega near 108th Street and 49th Avenue — around the corner from her home in Corona — when a thief spotted the driver-less car, with its engine running.
It wasn’t clear if the car thief knew there was a two-year-old girl inside.
“I was going quickly into the store just to get the diapers, I came back out (and) the car was gone,” Rojas told The Post. “I don’t know what to do?”
The car, a rented Hyundai with Florida plates, was abandoned less than a mile away on 98th Street — with the red-headed tyke safe inside.
“Two hours, the worst two hours of my life,” Rojas said. “It cannot be described in words. It was the worst two hours of my life.”
Rojas said she’d been out late Saturday at a park with friends and their kids, before heading home.
She couldn’t find a parking spot in her Corona neighborhood, before she decided to grab diapers.
“I was trying to find parking, it was raining,” she said. “So I see the grocery store and I figure I take care of this before my daughter wakes up.”
