The victim's cat, Willow, was inside the Jeep when it was stolen.
Willow is approximately 14 years old, 20 pounds and was in a pink pet carrier at the time, police said.
The alleged victim Jennifer Carl, said she was driving from her mom's place in Jersey City back to Washington D.C. after the holidays when the incident occurred.
"I don’t care at all about the car or anything in it, I just want Willow back," Carl told Daily Voice.
Carl found the cat in a tree in Jersey City more than a decade ago.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the Jeep or Willow is urged to call the Harrison Police Department at (973)483-4101.
