I would not leave the pump unattended for the reason that I already implied. And I have better evasive driving skills than my wife, unless I need to be shooting instead.
If you are driving a beater and don't care, or they have damaged your car already, throw it in reverse on the way out and hit the front bumper of their late model car hard enough to set off their airbags before driving off. If you let your wife do it, she can claim the pregnancy defense.
They won't be following you in that car, regardless.
