The car also contained Ms de Brún-Reid's buggy frame and car seat, for her infant daughter Harper.

"It's just such an invasion of your privacy," Ms de Brún-Reid said.

The lifestyle influencer said the family are trying to remain "optimistic" about the return of their vehicles but are staying realistic about the situation.

"I am so grateful no one is hurt and everyone is safe," she stated.
