Police said they are searching for a car that was stolen Wednesday night as two children were sleeping in the back seat.
The car was reported stolen at about 7 p.m. from the 3300 block of Baring Street in the Powelton section of Philadelphia, police said.
Police in the 16th District said it's believed that the vehicle was left running when it was stolen, and investigators were asking the public to look outside of their homes.
The missing vehicle was described as a silver, 2005 X-5 BMW SUV with Pennsylvania tags GDF-1692. It was last seen on its way toward Interstate 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway).
The sleeping children were identified as a 3-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, both white. The boy was last seen wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket, while the girl had on a pink, furry coat.
NBC 10's Mike Strug reported from the scene that state police are expected to soon issue an Amber Alert in the case.
The parents told NBC 10 that they were dropping off gifts at the time. The family was apparently on its way to see "Peter Pan."

Prayers for the quick and safe return of George and Kaliope.
Don’t bother, they won’t do it. Clearly tracking Santa on the radar is much more important.
Wow,Thank goodness.
They found them, safe. Thank God for small favors.

Good news. Sounds like a car thief found a little more than he was bargaining for and bailed.
That’s a relief. The thief was probably just after the car.
