The crime happened at the Valero gas station at North Josey and Keller Springs when the victim went inside to pay for his fuel.

Police said Vandeneynde took the victim's iPhone and his portable oxygen concentrator, which he desperately needs.

Police said in their initial social media post in the matter earlier in the month, "This special kind of thief is a white or hispanic female with blonde hair, driving an older model white Toyota Camry with possible right front quarter panel damage."
