The theft of a $2400 pram at a Disney theme park led to the discovery of an online business selling stolen high-end baby goods.

US police made the find after footage of a woman pushing the stolen Bugaboo stroller through Hollywood Studios on April 15 with her daughter strapped inside was made public.  

The pram's owner Lauren Collazo was on a ride at Hollywood Studios when her stroller was swiped, along with her purse, car keys and an EpiPen for her neice's severe allergies.

"It's the fact that she took it away from me the day that I needed it the most and ruined everybody's day at Disney," Lauren told ABC Action News.

"I was there with no money, stranded," said Lauren. "My husband had to fly over from Miami that same day, catch the first flight available to rescue me and my family."

Disney surveillance video shows the woman putting her young daughter into the stroller and strolling confidently off. Police later arrested Michelle Craig and charged her with grand larceny.

But that wasn't the end of it.

After the video was shared widely on social media, a woman contacted Lauren after buying the stroller online from Michelle.

"She's like, 'Oh my God! It still has the clips on it, it still has the tie wraps where you name was on it, do you recognise it?' I'm like, 'Absolutely!'" said Lauren.

ABC News then discovered a series of other high-end strollers, nappy bags and purses listed for sale on Michelle's Facebook page, showing this was not a one-time occurrence – this was a business.

Lauren was furious. "It's time to find a different job and a different hobby that's not stealing from other mums and ruining their days," she said.

Police investigations are continuing other thefts by Michelle at Disney.
