I am still in shock and keep thinking about the moment. Last night, I stopped by the grocery store after work to pick up some dinner. I was leaving the parking lot and slowed down to turn onto the street. All of a sudden, a guy comes running to me and tries to open my door. He is yelling at the top of his lungs to stop and that I needed to help him. I heard the word help so my first instinct was to see if he was okay. A split second later, I was like who the hell is he? I am not putting myself in danger so I started to accelerate but couldn't go too fast because the light was still red and cars were still pulling up to stop at the light. He let go of the handle and ran around the front of my car. I hit him with the car and he still was able to get to the passenger side to try and open the door. I realized that I was in a lot of danger so I just stepped on the gas and manuevered through the cars to get away from him. He was STILL trying to hold on and was yelling at me the whole time. He finally let go and as I looked back I saw another guy running in back of him with a gun. I was so scared and was afraid that the they would try to approach me at the light but just prayed that the other cars would be a deterent to them. It seemed like a million years before the light turned green. Once it did, I looked back and saw about 10 cop cars speeding toward the parking lot and the ghetto bird (police helicopter) fly overhead. I am guessing that the cops were already after them and they were going to use my car as the getaway car. I am just so lucky to have gotten out of the situation alive and safe.
The baby and I are okay. I had some cramping last night everytime I thought about what happened. I had to tell myself to relax but it was so hard thinking about all of the what ifs. What if his friend made it to the car and tried to shoot me? What if the guy got in the passenger side and made me drive him? I am just so glad that I made it home to hold my daughter and see my family again. I learned a valuable lesson. I am going to make sure to lock my doors whenever I get in the car. I never did that before because I didn't think it was something I had to do. Please ladies, lock your doors everytime you get in the car. If I hadn't tried to drive off, he would have been able to hop right in since my doors were unlocked. Thanks for reading this. I need to clear my head so I am off to take G to the aquarium. One more thing, can you ladies please mark as popular to spread the word to remember to lock your doors when you get in the car if you don't. It is crazy out there!

How scary for you!! Glad you are safe and okay and I hope they caught those guys.
Thank God you and the baby are OK. How Scary!
OMG ...that is super scary. I can't imagine! Glad you made it away safe. That had to have been it...they were going to use your car as the getaway vehicle. Glad the cops caught up with them! We will always lock our doors when we get in. We only do it half the time. You just never know.
OMG how scary!!!! Glad to hear that you are okay. I will definitely keep my doors locked all the time. What is wrong with people?
I am so glad you and your baby are okay. You did great in that situation... pat your back and know you are okay now...
I'm glad you and the baby are okay. I saw a situation like that not to long ago. I am glad they didn't try and steal my bf car b/c my son and I was in the back. We pulled up to a gas station in Augusta, Ga and we saw this guy drive off cool and collective with this other guy ford explorer we didn't know what was going on though. We just saw a guy runnin after it and he ran to my bf talking about let me hold your car my bf was like it don't have gas in it he said fill it up I will pay you. We thought were about to fight but come to find out a car was stolen. So I told my bf he needed to hurry and get gas and get the hell from up there. I don't like that my bf have a older car and you have to lock the doors yourself so I am trying to look for me a car. Thanks for the post when I go up there I lock my doors almost all the time I need to remember to do it all the time.
OMG Genelle, I would have been freaking out too!! I'm so glad you and baby T got out of there safely! Will always make sure my doors are locked!!
Sorry that happened to you! You should have called the police and told them...maybe they could have gotten the guy for attempted carjacking too.
