ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — A quick stop at a Diamond Shamrock gas station off 70th Avenue and Federal Boulevard ended in heartbreak for two Adams County roommates battling terminal illness.

Bob Grieve said he was cleaning his car windows Sunday around 4 p.m. at the Diamond Shamrock gas station, when someone jumped into his white 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and drove off, almost running over his foot while both of his and his roommates' small Chihuahuas were still inside.

"All of a sudden, he just punched it and squealed the tires and tore out," said Bob. "This guy stole my car. I tried running after them, but I'm sick and I can't run."

One dog, Poopy, belongs to Bob, who's living with liver failure.

The other, Peanut, belongs to his roommate Philip Jacobi, a stage four cancer patient.
