Police said a woman jumped in Lemon's Hyundai Sonata and took off.
"I ran to the car and starting yanking on the driver's door handle. She put the car in reverse and dragged me a good few feet," said Pero.

"You wouldn't think it would happen at 2 p.m. on a Sunday," said Lemon.
Police said it happens all the time,
"There are people lurking around, just waiting to jump into a car. It only takes a couple seconds," Police Detective Al Coghill of Canonsburg police.
