Video captured a woman clinging to the hood of a speeding car as thieves stole her French bulldog puppy in downtown Los Angeles. The theft happened on Jan. 18 as the dog's owner, Ali Zacharias, was enjoying lunch with her dog, Onyx, at a Whole Foods located on Grand Avenue and 8th Street at around 2:30 p.m.

Onyx was sitting underneath Zacharias’ chair. Suddenly, an unknown woman grabs the dog's leash and walks outside to a getaway car. Video of the incident shows the victim clinging tightly onto the suspects' car hood as they drove off with her dog at a high rate of speed. "It was horrifying,” Zacharias recalled. “As he started to go faster and faster I'm like, 'I'm about to die. This is my death. Right now. I'm about to die.’”
