The victim was sleeping on her couch when the man entered her home in the (edited), restrained her, and demanded money and the keys to her car. The man struck the victim with a blunt object and fled the scene in the victim’s car with an undisclosed amount of money.

I was very careful to not say anything to frighten her as I picked her up late at night to take her home ... alone. I walked her up to her door and sat in my cab for a few minutes afterwards.

Not the first time I have seen something like this.

Just wanted to pass this on and remind people to check on their elderly neighbours whenever you can ~
