Robert Deane went out of his house to pick up some packages when he noticed two car seats in a ditch. As he investigated, he found the two little girls who had been abducted in a stolen vehicle early Monday morning.

The girls were found in their car seats, which had been left in subfreezing temperatures in the 1300 block of South Riley Avenue in the city’s southeast, nearly 4 miles from where the vehicle they were in was reported stolen was reported.

“I would do it again,” Deane said. “If you see something, like a baby in a ditch, say something (and) do something.”

It is unclear how long they were outside in the 27 degree weather.
