Thinking fast, Evelyn told the clerk to dial 911, and ran out the door after Lubenski. By this time, Lubenski had managed to push the cart a third of the way down the parking lot. Where she was planning on going with the cart remains unclear. When she noticed Evelyn was in hot pursuit, Lubenski, perhaps taking a clue from a Hollywood movie, decided to trip Evelyn up by intentionally throwing down the cart in front of her. Lubenski then made a mad dash through the parking lot. Unfortunately, in her determination to ditch Evelyn, Lubenski had forgotten that her purse was still inside the shopping cart. Realizing the stupidity of her actions, Lubenski stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.
According to eyewitnesses, Lubenski started screaming profanities and began yelling, "My purse! My purse," as she trudged across the parking lot to retrieve it. By this time, Evelyn had also noticed Lubenski's purse.
"I grabbed her purse, and as I did, I saw her running towards me with her arms flying all over and screaming at me," Evelyn wrote in her statement to police.

| Subway |
Uncertain what to do, Evelyn ran into a nearby Subway sandwich shop. She quickly threw the purse over the counter and asked the employees to call the police.
"The suspect came through the door and tried to get past me to get her purse. Again, I told employees to call 911. Someone in the place recognized her and took her in the corner and tried to settle her down, but it didn't work."
Lubenski then attempted to pull a classic Dukes of Hazzard stunt by sliding across the counter, but her equilibrium was a bit askew and she fell, landing hard on her tushy. Evelyn then ran over and locked the dead bolt on the door to the sandwich shop so the suspect could not escape. Unfortunately, this did not deter Lubenski. She stumbled up from the ground and made her way towards the door.
