A VH1 reality star’s car was stolen from a southwest Atlanta gas station earlier this week, according to a police report.

Shekinah Jo Anderson told police she stopped at a Chevron gas station on the 1200 block of Metropolitan Parkway to “get a plate of food from her friend.” Police said her keys were still in the ignition of her gray 2015 BMW with the car running.

Anderson said she noticed her car was moving backwards, but when she went to stop it from moving, a man inside the car told her to “get back.”

“She thought they might have a gun, so she moved quickly out of the way,” read the police report. Anderson’s belongings, including her credit cards, purse and cellphone were inside the car.

The car sped off, hitting two cars and damaging one of them. It was last seen heading north on Murphy Avenue.

A witness told police he saw two men jump inside the car. One was wearing a dark blue shirt, dark jeans and blue underwear. The second man was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and was “skinny.” The men, according to police, did not have a gun.

Police said a second witness told them the men picked up two other people at a gas station nearby and drove off. The witness said one of the men was wearing a red jacket and the other a black hoodie but had no other descriptions of them.

Anderson is the best friend and hairstylist of Xscape member Tameka “Tiny” Harris. She appeared on VH1’s “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle” and had her own show “Shekinah’s Weave Trip.” The reality star has also appeared on BET’s “Tiny & Toya.”

Anderson’s case is one of a few high profile car thefts in Atlanta over the past year. In December, Queen Latifah’s Mercedes-Benz was stolen as she was filling the tank at a Shell gas station in south Fulton County. Just days later, Fulton Superior Court Judge Marvin Arrington Sr.’s 2016 Infiniti Q60 was stolen at a BP gas station on Cascade Road.
