John Pace told KSAT 12 News that he went to make sure his car was locked in the parking lot of the apartment complex in the 100 block of Linda Lou at 4:30 p.m. when two men wearing ski masks shoved him against a wall.
Pace said the men stole $75 from his pocket and then went into his apartment and took a new microwave.
"It was a Christmas gift for my brother and my niece," he said. "It came out of my Social Security."
Pace wasn't able to give police a make or model of a vehicle the men left in.
