While pumping gas, police recommend to keep your car doors locked to prevent someone from opening one while you aren’t looking and stealing your stuff.
These are commonly referred to as “slider” crimes, and a woman in College Park told Channel 2 Action News she was nearly the victim of one Sunday night.
However, she went to great lengths to scare off her would-be thieves, and the encounter was captured on video.
Princess, who asked Channel 2 to only use her first name, said she was at the Texaco gas station off Roosevelt Highway when something made her suspicious.
The video obtained by the news station shows a blue sedan pull up next to her Mercedes while she’s pumping gas, and she quickly realized what was happening.
