If not, why would she say "I think it must be (someone following me home) as that's the only way they would find out where you live." Following her home from where? From where she used (someone else's) mobile while driving? Otherwise why not assume it's a random attack on a parked car?

The part: "(following me home)" looks like an context insertion by the writer of the article, rather than necessarily being what the victim said, otherwise it could simply have been rendered as: "I think it must be someone who followed me home as that's the only way they would find out where I live" (or words to exactly the same effect) without the need for brackets.
