The knife-wielding thug targeted the 76-year-old outside a property on Lundin Road in Crossford at around 11pm on Friday May 4.
She was held inside the house by the robber who made off with a number of items including jewellery and a number of cameras.

He is believed to have links to the Greenock and Clackmannanshire areas.
Investigators now believe the man may have travelled to either Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
Anyone who believes they recognise the individual are asked to come forward.
Detective Inspector Kelly McEwan from Dunfermline CID said: “The man in the CCTV images may have information that can help with the ongoing investigation and one line of inquiry for us is that he may now be somewhere in either Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
“I’d ask that communities from both countries look at our footage and get in touch as a matter of urgency if they believe they recognise the man pictured.
“In addition, anyone with any further information relating to this robbery should also contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Dunfermline CID via 101 and quote incident number 0099 of May 5.
