A Milwaukee woman jumped on top of her car to keep thieves from taking off with it, police say.
Melissa Marian posted on Facebook that she was gassing up her SUV on St. Paul Ave. on Tuesday, May 23rd around 2:00 p.m. That’s when the suspects, apparently in a stolen vehicle, tried to steal her SUV.
Marian jumped on the hood of the SUV to prevent her vehicle from being driven off. After a couple of seconds, the person inside the SUV jumped out — and left the SUV in gear.
Marian was then forced to jump into a moving vehicle — even as the suspects drove away.
Marian said in the Facebook post that the suspects didn’t get her SUV, but they did make away with her purse, iPhone and wallet.

That wasn't super or brave. That was reckless endangerment of herself. I've seen videos like this and it doesn't always end well. U.S is not Nigeria, all she could have done was report her car as stolen and police would be on the case like fly on shit.
