This is in Churchmouse and Doggy Daddy's part of town. Used tree limbs to stop the car? What is old becomes new again. It worked for stagecoaches after all.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Indianapolis police are searching for a pair of armed thieves who ambushed and robbed a mother and her young child.
Investigators say the crooks laid a trap for the unsuspecting victim on Indy's west side near 34[SUP]th[/SUP] and Gerrard Avenue.
The mother, who was driving alone for the first time in the United States, says she was ambushed by two men who put a large log in the street to block her path and force her to stop.
“They came with one branch. They put it in the middle and she had to stop because she didn’t want to hit nobody you know. She didn’t understand what has happened,” said the victim’s sister, Griselda Miranda.
Griselda helped translate the story for her sister Ava, who doesn't speak much English, but understood what the thieves wanted when they walked up to her car door.
“They put one gun in the window and they said, ‘Open the door, open the door, open the door.’ She said, ‘No.’ When they see she don’t open the door, they go around the car,” said Miranda.
To get her to cooperate, the gunman took aim at Ava's 3-year-old son, who was sleeping in the back seat.
“That’s the worst nightmare for anybody, any mother in this world,” said Miranda.
According to the police report, one of the robbers grabbed Ava's purse with some cash and immigration documents inside, then hit her in the head with the gun and ran away through the neighborhood.

. The Hispanic population carries lots of important things with them or on their persons very often, probably more often than not. Just because it's not normal for YOU doesn't mean there is necessarily shenanigans afoot. I would have thought it odd years ago before I did what I do now, but as ridiculous as it is, it's pretty normal.
This is only temporary. Once my grow operation takes off, I'm going big time and moving to a double wide out in the country.
