<p>An elderly couple on State Street was knocked to the ground and robbed of their SUV at gunpoint Monday evening, police said.</p>
<p>The victims, a 72-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, were unloading their tan 2003 Toyota Highlander in the 2100 block of State Street around 10 p.m. when they were approached by two men who hit them and knocked them to the ground, according to police reports. The men took the couples keys at gunpoint and left in the Highlander down Freret Street, police said.</p>

<p>If people are stealing a 10 year old Toyota from an elderly couple, they must be pretty heartless and desperate!</p>
<p>But then again, it's hard to think of these robbers as people.</p>
