A 44-year-old Diego Martin woman escaped unharmed after her car was stolen with her inside, thanks to quick action by her husband and police on Monday afternoon.

Police said the victim, of Blue Range, had just parked her Toyota Corolla along Gopaul Avenue, Diego Martin, around 5:05 p.m. when she spotted a man peering into her vehicle.

The suspect, identified as a 25-year-old of the same apartment complex, then entered the driver’s seat. The woman jumped into the passenger side and refused his order to get out. The thief drove off with her still inside, police reported.
