I think people who prey on other peoples generosity are the lowest of the low. Hate them. About 6 months ago I drove by a man walking down an on ramp with a gas can in his hand. Obvious deduction is that he ran out of gas and was walking back to his car to fill it up. Pulled over and offered him a ride....and he keeps changing his story. In the end he was simply using the gas can as a ruse and attempted to get me to drive him around 15 miles. There was never a car out of gas. Now I will probably never pull over again to help a motorist who ran out of gas. Lowest of the low.

Always leave plenty of space between you and car in front at red lights or heavy traffic in case of quick get away. My brother once was accosted by some fool who insisted on washing his windshield but my brother repeatedly said no. He walked around back of car since there wasn't space in front as my brother kept inching up. He put the squeegee down and pulled a .357 and demanded his wallet. So yes these fools use props as part if the game. This didn't happen in the triangle but in an up and coming area in another state where this same BS crept up. Unfortunately, the area is growing fast and the schemes, creeps, thugs, gangs, etc all come along with it.
