Ms Grace’s doorbell camera initially caught the men lurking outside before they broke in to try to take the keys.

One intruder was able to get into the car before Ms Grace stormed out and started shouting.

‘Get out of my car, c***! Get the hell away,” she demanded.

‘Get it, you m***********! Go away!’

The nervous intruder began to panic as Mrs Grace spun around the car and somehow managed to jam the key into the ignition before giving up the fight.

“I will do that,” you hear the man shout back on the footage.

At that point, Mrs. Grace went back inside to get a knife and when she came back out, the man had already fled.
