Se robaron a mi abuelita

Hi,

Context Reverso gives they stole my granny;

Translates it back: me robaron a mi abuela;

Translates they stole from my granny: le robaron a mi abuela;

Finally, they stole it from my grandmother: se lo robaron a mi abuela.

The latter is my lasting pain: I can never decide whether this se is just le, which points to the grandma (this is the case, I guess, but how can I be sure?), or it is really se, and it belongs to the reflexive verb. With five years under the belt it's very, very frustrating...
