The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania remains shaken up after an incident that occurred over the weekend.
Dolores shared at BravoCon that she’s been living with her boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, since last December.
There’s no question the couple’s happier than ever, with Dolores constantly gushing over her new man.
However, last Saturday, things were far from romantic bliss after thieves snagged Dolores’ Porsche right out of the driveway.
Paulie and Dolores live in Edgewater, New Jersey, with reports sharing that the luxury car was stolen at 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
Not a lot of details about the theft have been made public, but an insider close to The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has shed some light on how she’s doing.

A source close to Dolores spoke to Page Six, spilling that she’s working with the police to find the Porsche. Dolores filed a police report when she realized the car was missing.
“Dolores is determined to find her car with the help of authorities,” the insider shared. “She is aggravated but also really shaken up over the fact that someone would steal it right out of Paulie’s driveway.”
