Fortunately, no one was inside the property at the time of the home invasion.
Ms Lee, who arrived at the property at 5pm, said the men took some of her most prized possessions.
‘I had things from my Yiayia [Greek word for grandmother] “That’s been passed down from generation to generation, so it probably doesn’t have much dollar value, but it’s invaluable to me,” he said.
Lee praised the work of the police officers who are investigating the incident.
Police said the Rav 4 was stolen from a property in Modbury Heights on April 1 and has been used in several burglaries in the city’s northern and eastern suburbs.
The incident comes after Grant Stevens, South Australia’s police commissioner, agreed to send 20 police officers to the Northern Territory.

“We know how difficult it is to get police to fill the gaps of departing and retiring police officers, and we are sending some of our staff interstate,” Ms Lee said.
Anyone who knows where the two cars are or has any information about the home invasion is asked to contact police immediately.
