A woman was attacked in her parked car by a violent car robber - the third to fall victim to a copycat crimewave.
Today, the 30-year-old spoke out to warn other women of the dangers of leaving their personal belongings on display after she was subjected to a terrifying robbery.
The sales director was parked outside her house when a man approached her Renault Megane, hurled a large stone through the window and grabbed her handbag.
He escaped with the victim in hot pursuit - but she later abandoned the chase.
The daylight attack happened at 11.40am on Monday on South Meadow Lane, Broadgate, Preston, as the woman prepared to leave for work.
Today detectives expressed their concern as it was revealed she was the third woman to fall victim to this type of crime in a week.
They Replica Louis Vuitton Handbags said they were not ruling out the possibility the same man is responsible for all three robberies. But a copycat attacker could be on the loose.
The mother-of-one said today: "I'm so, so angry that somebody has had the gall to do it outside my own house.
"I'd LED Flexible Strip Smart Series Smart 5050 got in my car to go to work and had just made a mobile phone call so I had my bag on the seat next to me.
"I turned the engine on and a guy walked past and threw a large stone through the window. It broke the glass and hit me on the arm.
"I tried to wrestle with him and cut my finger on the glass. I ran after him but realised the engine was on, so ran back to my car. It's a natural instinct to fight back.
"This guy is still at large and is attacking women and going round breaking their windows to shock them." She said the attack brought back memories of a similar incident in Manchester. She added: "I got car-jacked four years ago in Manchester city centre.
"My door was unlocked and a man opened it and grabbed my bags off the seat while I was stopped at traffic lights.
"I lock my doors now but locking them doesn't help if people are going round with bricks to break your windows."
Police today warned women of the dangers of leaving their handbags in view of passers-by.
Det Insp Pat Gill, from Preston CID, said: "This is quite a rare offence and I don't want to concern women drivers. But I do want to repeat the crime prevention advice and tell people to keep valuables out of sight and their

"We've got to keep an open mind because this offence was so similar to the previous two. This happened in broad daylight - somebody must have seen something.
"We recovered the bag so we're looking at getting it forensically examined."
The bag, which contained two Nokia mobile phones, worth [pounds sterling]360, was later found discarded on East Cliff, Preston.
The latest attack comes after two similar incidents in Preston. The first was on March 7 when a 25-year-old was targeted while parked outside Ringway House, Ringway, Preston.
This was followed by another in which a student and her mother experienced the same fate at 7.15pm on March 10. All three women have given similar descriptions of the offenders.
