( CNN ) -- A 14-year-old boy and his 13-year-old girlfriend who ran away together last month from Michigan were found safe Sunday in Chicago . An anonymous caller rang the Chicago police after spotting the teens . The pair was found in a parked Ford SUV on the north side of Chicago , said police spokesman John Mirabelli . The car was next to a gas station and out of gas . The teens ' parents have been notified and are en route to pick them up , Mirabelli said . Braxton Wood , 14 , and his girlfriend , Jayden Thomas , 13 , were believed to have driven off August 26 in Wood 's parents ' 2005 black Ford Explorer with about $ 80 in cash . Until Sunday , no one in Isabella County , located about 160 miles northwest of Detroit , had heard from them . Police considered the teens runaways ( they did n't issue an Amber Alert ) and said there was no reason to believe they faced imminent danger . Before they were found , Braxton 's mother , Sarah Kiley , told HLN 's Kyra Phillips she thought they had a pretty healthy relationship , though it had been on-again , off-again recently . `` They felt like they were very much in love . And that 's intense for 13- and 14-year-olds . But I felt like it was a positive ( relationship ) , '' Kiley said Friday on HLN 's Raising America . She pleaded then for both teens to come home . `` It 's been too long . We know they have to be scared . They 're young . They do n't have any resources to make it on their own . And if they 're scared to come home , please do n't be . We 'll support them in whatever they need . We just need them home . Life ca n't go on without them here . '' CNN 's John Branch and Mark Morgenstein contributed to this report .
