Ernie Aimone, 81, had just delivered pizza to one of his employer’s customers. On his way back to his car, a kid rushed towards him while demanding the keys. The kid wasn’t alone. One of those that closed in against Aimone punched him in the face. Aimone fell down and played dead. The perpetrators took his vehicle and drove off.<\/p>\n

Ernie Aimone, 81, said he has never feared for his life in his 40 years of delivering pizzas in Chicago — until last Wednesday, when he was robbed by teen carjackers on his route.<\/p>\n

“I had just finished delivering a pizza and I was walking back to my car and somebody behind me was yelling ‘gimme the keys, gimme the keys’ and ran at me real fast from behind,” Aimone told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

One of the attackers punched him in the face — a “glancing blow,” the former Army sergeant said — and he “laid down and made them think that I was unconscious” while they took off with his 2015 Hyundai Sante Fe.<\/p>\n

Aimone said he was just two blocks away from his home and rushed there to call his boss.<\/p>\n

“He was all frantic, saying ‘They got my car, They got my car. They’ve got food in it from the delivery,'” Aimone’s boss at Joe’s on Higgins, Frank Demonte, said. “I said ‘Whoa, I don’t care about the food, are you OK?'”<\/p>\n

Hours after the 9:30 p.m. carjacking, state police saw Aimone’s car on an expressway, according to an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital — but the driver wouldn’t pull over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
