CAPE CORAL, Fla. – Authorities are looking for a shoplifter who was run over twice by her getaway car after stealing $1,200 worth of designer purses from a Cape Coral store. A T.J. Maxx security guard told police she saw a woman stuff six designer Dooney & Bourke purses into her pants Tuesday morning and walk out of the store. The guard said she was confronting the woman when a car pulled up.

A report said the shoplifter tried to get into the vehicle but fell out and was run over by the car. She then got up and jumped onto the hood of the car. As the car was driving away, the report said the woman fell off and was run over again. On her third attempt, she finally made it into the vehicle.

Police are using the car's license plate and a check the woman dropped to track her down.

This was on the local news a few days ago. (Cape Coral is very close) If she was really "run over" by the car, wouldn't she be badly injured? At the time I saw this on TV, I thought "even a tire going over your foot would crush it."

I didn't see anything with the above link. Here is the story from our local CBS station and it's also on YouTube.

Thanks, Truesee. It happened on Wed the 14th, not Jan 16. Hey, I live here!! Trust me. That's why I provided the link and the video below. Here is another one from the newspaper the next morning. Thanks for posting it. I wasn't doubting you, just wondering how she got away without being seriously injured.

Thanks you Justxploring for the info and I never doubted you. It is a funny story and it is interesting that the Associated Press posted the story on the 16th as opposed to the 14th when it actually happened. Maybe it was a slow news day for the AP. Thanks again.
