Victim Support have been consoling the woman who had her car taken during the incident.
A relative says she was backing out of her driveway on Monday afternoon when another vehicle swerved in front of her before a man jumped out from behind the wheel.
The armed man allegedly demanded her vehicle to get to Feilding, her tale is one of many facets in an incident which ended in the offender allegedly firing two shots at police.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested and charged with numerous offences since the incident unfolded.
"She handled herself extremely well in a very stressful situation and we commend her for this," Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thompson says.
"Sadly the repercussions are ongoing for her.
"Not only did she have to face this overwhelming situation, but the vehicle she depends on has been damaged beyond repair and was not insured."
Police have previously confirmed they were first alerted to the incident after reports of a vehicle being driven erratically in Foxton.
The man allegedly failed to stop and police didn't initiate a pursuit but made inquiries about the vehicle.

He ended up driving back past police and allegedly firing a shot at an officer, who was not injured.
It was shortly afterwards when the Foxton woman began leaving her home and was approached.
The man would go on to lead police on a "wild goose chase" - according to another resident - before eventually crashing.
Thompson says the some of the charges the man is facing is using a firearm against a law enforcement officer, aggravated robbery, possession of a pistol and a number of driving offences.
