Mostly cloudy through lunchtime at least. But the sun will eventually come out. 50 degrees our high temperature, sunset time is 4 36, bob kelly, we work our way up to the first day every winter. These days are really getting short. Getting shorter, exactly. But how about a long late night game of monopoly last night . 5 02, good morning, everybody, if we can take a picture of my computer. Oops. What do we have here . Thats steves camera. Here, check this out. The elf playing light night monopoly last night, sent to us, you know, the elf moves every night, runs on up to the north pole, then comes back. Hopeful little your elf moved on the other night, hint hint for moms and dads watching. Live look at the schuylkill expressway here. This is westbound. Right at south street. Leaving south philadelphia, one car, actually, i thought it was only one car accident. But, when they pants out, there is a tractortrailer, and another vehicle here, in off to the shoulder. So the bottom line, east, westbound schuylkill, accident at south street. With only one lane, and this is right there, the university, south street onramp there. So watch for delays leaving south philadelphia, if youre coming over the bridge in toward philadelphia. Again, only that one lane coming into philly, there, at south street. On the ground here, on the freeway, again, leftovers, still dealing with some showers in our area. The roads are wet. You got the spray coming up off the cars in front of you. Coming back from the poconos, or headed up that way, they got 5 inches of snow yesterday. So, be ready for that as you head north up toward the pocono mountain interchange coming east on 422, no problems from royersford into king of prussia. Karen, thomas, back to you. Bob, thank you. So this is something that happened to one woman but could happen to any of us. Simply goes shopping in the middle of the day on a sunday. And we have some video of what happens as someone tries to will be her. There she is being dragged away by the suspects car. This guy steve new what he wanted, targeted the victim here. Look, weve seen so many women get distract in the grocery stores, and thieves take their purses out of their cart while theyre in the store. This woman did the right thing. She really protect her purse before she loads her groceries in her car. Here are we are are, this south philly parking lot, right behind the famous and always parked oregon diner next to the toys r us, and this is the asian oregon Market Grocery store where she went shopping. Because she is older, she gets one of the close parking spots. So she does everything right. This is thanksgiving weekend, it is sunday, at lunch hour, believe it or not. So, while many went out shopping black friday weekend, some low life made a highlight in police surveillance. Here it is. They hope someone knows who is driving this gray Toyota Highlander. Notice the side event, chrome tail pipes. Looking for a victim, parks, pounces, this little old lady loading the groceries in the back of her suv. After she first thought she wisely loaded her purse into the passenger side and closed the door. But it didnt lock. Thats the problem. So, he sees her in the back, and he goes into that passenger door, she watches him, as he goes in, grabs her purse, and runs to his vehicle. She doesnt just sit there and do nothing, she chases him, then tries to open his door, and go after him. And then as she is holding on to the handle, you see, she gets dragged, then tossed. Dave schratwieser talked to her and her daughter last night who aids with the translation. Two cars away from her, and then the guy just came, and my mom puts the purse in the car and he just opened the door and grabs the purse. And then he just started running. The car started driving. And then she almost got ran over by the car. Scarry . Yes, then she fell down on the floor and she got hurt just a little bit. People be aware of the surroundings. No fault of this lady, none of her own, quite naturally you dont think somebody will come back to your vehicle to unlock your door while you are loading groceries. Unfortunately, we live in a time where we have people who do those type every things. So hopefully somebody can recognize either the vehicle, very distinguishing marks on the vehicle, markings, passenger side air event, as well as the tail pipe. So if you think you know the gray Toyota Highlander, and the low life driving it, police want a tip. Dont worry about being a snitch. Just imagine if somebody did that to your mom or grandmom. Now, we already know of two good people who did the right thing in this case. The thief took 200 in cash, in the purse, and instead of stealing the rest, her cell phone, her identity with a drivers license and all of her other cards, it was us to dollars and they turned it over to police. Now somebody hopes they turn this creep in. I was going say another word there. I held back. Good catch on that one. You have to wonder about going after the suspect. I mean, pretty bold move what the guy did. But also bold move to go after the person who just took your purse. Yes, i admire. That will but it is not the wise thing to do we know. It could have been worse, she could have fell under the wheels. But i life toughness in people. She showed t shes okay. You never know how youll react. Steve, thank you. Time now 5 07.
