Kidnapped or rescued?

I had left my mom in the car in front of Wasem's Drug with the key in the ignition. I had just gone in to get her prescription. They had a problem with her insurance card, so it was taking longer than usual. I went out and checked on her and she was sound asleep. I went out less than 10 minutes later and she and the car were gone.

I was frantic and called the police. About an hour later, my husband called and said she walked in the door and the car was in the driveway. He thought I was with her and went out to see if I needed help with the groceries and he saw a red car leaving. He checked the seat and it had been pushed back for longer legs and the registration was on the top in the glove box. Mom has dementia so she could not remember any of this.

My question is, was she car-jacked and taken where they had to go and then taken home or had she driven the car and stopped someplace, confused, and some dear soul took her home? We may never know what happened in this hour but want to thank whoever brought her home. A good lesson learned: Never, never, leave keys in a car.
