SHE\u2019S BEEN DRIVING AROUND PHILADELPHIA LOOKING FOR HER VEHICLE AND OFFERING A REWARD TO ANYONE WHO HELPS FIND IT. AS AARON BASKERVILLE REPORTS, THAT REWARD COMES DIRECTLY FROM HER OVEN. I\u2019M LOOKING AND I\u2019M LIKE, I FEEL LIKE I\u2019M GONNA DO THIS FOREVER UNTIL IT\u2019S FOUND. IT\u2019S A NEW ROUTINE. NOWADAYS, WENDY WOLF IS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE FAMILY\u2019S STOLEN SUV. I WAS LIKE, DID I PARK THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE? WHY WOULD I DO THIS TO. I LOOK IN GARAGES THAT ARE OPEN AND LOTS TO. EVER SINCE THIEVES SNATCHED THE BLUE HONDA CRV FROM WOLF\u2019S THOMPSON STREET HOME IN PORT RICHMOND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, SHE\u2019S BEEN FOCUSED ON GETTING IT BACK. WOLF DROVE THE CAR TO RESCUE CATS. YOU THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE AROUND THE CITY? OBVIOUSLY 100% A NEIGHBOR. I FOUND OUT WHILE TALKING TO NEIGHBORS ABOUT MY CAR THAT WAS STOLEN ON MY STREET A MONTH AGO, AND I KIND OF WISH SOMEBODY HAD SAID THAT FROM PORT RICHMOND TO KENSINGTON TO CAMDEN, WOLF HASN\u2019T STOPPED SEARCHING. HAVE ANY FEELINGS ABOUT IT AT THE TIME? OH, IT TOOK ME LIKE TWO HOURS. AND THEN I WAS LIKE, I\u2019M SO SAD. I WAS LIKE, HOW COULD THEY TAKE MY CAR? IT\u2019S A CRIME ALL TOO FAMILIAR FOR MANY IN PHILADELPHIA. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST NUMBERS, THIEVES STOLE 1130 CARS IN THE CITY IN THE LAST 28 DAYS. THEY TOOK 271 LAST WEEK ALONE. BUT OVERALL, AUTO THEFT IS DOWN NEARLY 8% FROM LAST YEAR. I KEEP MY CAR KEYS IN A FARADAY BOX. THAT WAS THE THING I WAS DOING BECAUSE THAT\u2019S WHAT PEOPLE SAID, OH, THEY CAN JUST CLONE YOUR KEYS. WOLF TRIED TO DO ALL THE RIGHT THINGS. SHE NOW USES A CLUB ON THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE FAMILY\u2019S OTHER CAR. THERE\u2019S A CASH REWARD ON THE THE SUV, BUT MAYBE EVEN BETTER, SHE\u2019S READY TO BAKE FOR THEM. I ALSO MAKE REALLY, REALLY DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD. SO IT\u2019S EASY, BUT LIKE, HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY, RIGHT? LIKE, C1 AND COOKIES AND LIKE, WHAT ELSE? WHAT DO C1 CRV, BECAUSE IF YOUDO FIND IT, THERE\u2019\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania woman offers baked goods to help find stolen SUV<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768443133_629_wgal.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WGAL logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 6:10 PM EDT Jul 7, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgal.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWendy Wolf has been tirelessly searching Philadelphia for her stolen blue Honda CR-V, which was taken from her Thompson Street home in Port Richmond, early Saturday morning.  &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m going to do this forever until it&#8217;s found,&#8221; Wolf said.

To encourage others to help find her SUV, Wolf is offering a cash reward and homemade baked goods. &#8220;I also make really, really delicious chocolate pecan banana bread,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Hopefully somebody, right?
