SUSIE STEIMLE, WBZ NEWS.
BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
THAT UPDATE, SUSIE.
A TERRIFYING ROBBERY IN
MILTON.
AN ELDERLY WOMAN THREAT  HER
OWN DRIVEWAY AND THE THIEVES
MADE OFF WITH HER CAR.
NICOLE JACOBS LIVE IN MILTON.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US, NICOLE?
Reporter:  WELL, KATHRYN,
MOMENTS AGO WE SAW A TOW TRUCK
HAULING IN THAT VEHICLE THAT
MILTON POLICE CONFIRM WAS A CAR
THAT WAS STOLEN.
I WANT TO GET YOU TO VIDEO THAT
FITS THE DESCRIPTION PERFECTLY.
THE CAR THAT WAS TAKEN FROM
THIS WOMAN, THIS ELDERLY
WOMAN'S DRIVEWAY IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT.
SHE SAID THE THIEF DID IT
CALMLY, SO CALMLY, SHE BELIEVES
HE DID THIS BEFORE.
A QUAINT MILTON NEIGHBORHOOD
OFF ELLIOT STREET IS PEACEFUL
THIS TIME OF YEAR, ALTHOUGH
MONDAY AFTERNOON THAT PEACE WAS
TRIED FOR ONE 84-YEAR-OLD
RESIDENT.
I GOT OUT OF THE CAR
SLOWLY, KAYFULLY.
Reporter:  SHE HAD JUST
RETURNED FROM GROCERY SHOPPING
WHEN SHE WAS APPROACHED BY A
STRANGER.
HE WASN'T THREATENING AT
ALL.
HE WAS SHORT, A SHORT MAN.
ALL DRESSED IN BLACK.
Reporter:  NOW TOO TERRIFIED
TO SPEAK ON CAMERA AND TOO
SPOOK TO USE HER NAME, SHE
SPOKE OVER THE PHONE OF THE
WORDS THAT QUICKLY GOT HER
ATTENTION.
"IN THE IS A ROBBERY."
I SAID, WHAT?
AND HE SAID, "THIS IS A
ROBBERY.
LET'S NOT MAKE IT A MURDER."
Reporter:  SHE KNEW THE
INITIAL CORDIAL QUESTIONS OF
HER POSSIBLE NEIGHBORS WERE A
DISTRACTION.
HIS VOICE WAS CALM, SHE SAYS,
AND SHE AGREED TO HIS EVERY
COMMAND.
HE SAID, "YOU WALK UP TO
THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND TURN
AROUND."
SO I DID.
AND HE SAID, "NOW, JUST STAY
LIKE THAT AND I'LL BACK OUT."
AND I SAID, "I'M NOT GOING TO
MOVE."
Reporter:  HE DROVE AWAY
WITH HER CAR AND PURSE, LEAVING
HER PARALYZED WITH FEAR.
HE WAS WALKING AROUND AND
-- I WAS TONIGHT OF
OPPORTUNITY.
Reporter:  KNOWING SHE JUST
HAPPENED TO BE IN THE WRONG
PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME BUT AT
THE RIGHT MOMENT WAS ABLE TO
WALK AWAY.
AT THIS POINT, AGAIN, MILTON
POLICE  CONFIRMING THE VEHICLE
THEY TOWED IN HERE JUST MOMENTS
AGO IS, IN FACT, THE VEHICLE
THAT WAS STOLEN.
ONE DIFFERENCE WE WERE ABLE TO
SEE, THE LICENSE PLATE NOW HAS
A MASSACHUSETTS LICENSE PLATE,
BUT MILTON POLICE DO CONFIRM
NEW HAMPSHIRE REGISTRATION
CONNECTED WITH THAT VEHICLE.
IT'S UNCLEAR IF THE WOMAN'S
PURSE WAS INSIDE.
THIS IS A STORY WE WILL
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW.
