She pressed on the gas and got away as quickly as she can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUp until this point, never gave it much thought to go out and get my car in the morning,\u201d said neighbor Carolyn Naylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, neighbors are watching closely after such a frightening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s scary, it really is scary,\u201d Naylor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an incident report filed with Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Office, the victim says she pulled out of her driveway and stopped along the road to make sure her garage door closed before leaving. That\u2019s when the suspect approached the car from the passengers side and demanded she get out. The victim then slammed on the accelerator and got away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighbors are shocked that all of this took place in broad daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnything could have happened,\u201d said neighbor Michael Coots. \u201cCould have killed em.
