After getting out of her car - a 2015 Audi A4, registered V INK - on her way to the gym, the victim was approached by two masked offenders.
The victim told Melbourne radio station 3aw that the men approach her "saying we won't hurt you if you give the keys."
"So they repeated it twice and then one guy puts his hand to the pocket. I thought like, woah, something else might come up."
"This society is not safe anymore and this can happen to anybody," she said.
"I mean particularly this gym, I could be the target on the day but this could have happened to anyone."
