An Indianapolis man was horrified when he went outside to pick up a package when he discovered two abandoned babies in a ditch.

Robert Deane had walked just a few feet from his front door to check if his package had been delivered, but as he looked around he noticed the two little girls in their car seats.

The babies, a four-month-old and a five-month-old, were reported missing around 11 a.m. when the 2013 Hyundai Sonata they were riding in the back seat of was stolen.

Deane quickly brought the missing infants to his house and called the police.

“One of them was screaming, so I immediately grabbed the car seats and brought them in.” “We warmed them up and called 911,” he told CBS4.

When he found her it was 27 degrees outside.

Deane told USA Today, “I would do it again.” “If you see something, like a baby in a ditch, say something, do something.”

The stolen car was found near the children, around the same time Deane alerted police to the babies’ whereabouts.

“It’s cold out here,” Indianapolis police spokesman William Young told USA Today. “Who knows what could have happened if that particular person had not been able to get outside.”

He continued to praise Deane for saving the babies from the cold weather.

Young said, “He did what any good person would do.” He took those infants to a shelter. That’s a result we wanted.

“I can’t thank this good Samaritan enough.”

The little girls, who family members said were cousins, were unharmed. Deane, whose birthday was Monday, said it was the best gift he could have asked for.

Police are still searching for the person who stole the car on East Gimber Street and left the little girls in a ditch about four miles away in the 1300 block of Riley Avenue.

“We do not have a suspect in custody, but our next priority will be to determine who is responsible for this particular incident,” Young said.

A similar car theft occurred in July when a Florida man stole an SUV and dumped the 3-year-old girl inside on the side of a busy road.

Police said Willio Petioma, 35, was arrested after an anonymous tip to the Broward Sheriff’s Office and was filmed removing the child from the car.

He stole the car when the girl’s mother got out to exchange details with another driver after a minor car accident in Fort Lauderdale.

In another incident in July, an Ohio mother died trying to save her son when a thief stole her car while he was in the back seat.

Alexa Stakely, 29, threw herself onto the bonnet of the vehicle as the car sped away before she fell and suffered fatal head injuries.

She was trying to protect her six-year-old son, who was sleeping in the back seat.

Stakley later died from her injuries.
