A Milwaukee woman who realized her car was being stolen at a gas station jumped onto the hood to stop the thief.

Surveillance video shows the woman getting out to pump gas when a dark car pulls up in front of her. A man gets out and hops inside her car.

She then jumps onto the hood, hanging on as the thief tries to drive away.

He eventually gives up, hops back into the car he rolled up in and takes off.
