When the senior refused, the stranger reached into her vehicle and grabbed a Bible the woman’s late husband had given her.

The driver was not hurt.

The blue-coloured paperback publication with the name Faye Snyder on the inside cover was in a black fabric case with a zipper.

The case also contained a soft cover Bible study book called “She Did What She Could” by Day of Discovery.
