It's not pitch dark yet, but getting there.
It is a decent area of town.
You are just leaving a popular restaurant, located in a busy strip mall.
You have just had a lovely dinner with your partner and children.
There are still lots of people about and lots of restaurants still open.
You get into your car - you and your partner in front and your children in the back.
A male stranger flags you down in the parking lot.
He says 'Hello. I am not asking for money or anything, but my car is parked over there and it won't start. I need to get to a gas station to get some help. Would you mind dropping me there?'
What would you do?
Hmm! Tough one! I think I would offer to go and get the gas and bring it back to him. I've watched too many episodes of CSI and Criminal Minds to be gullible enough to let him in the car with the family. It might be a set-up.
ReplyDeleteSadly this is the world we live in now, one where you suspect everyone's motives.
It is indeed the world we live in.
