Next time, take the safe route and call 911. let the pros handle tracking down the owner and stay safe!

There was a heinous crime that happened just like this a few years ago two blocks from where I lived in Richmond, VA. The only difference was that there was a van “broken down” on the side of the street with two ladies waving down passing cars to stop and help them. One guy finally stopped to see what was wrong and offered to help. Before he even got out of his car two dudes immediately jumped out of the back of the van with guns drawn demanding money. The guy in the car attempted to speed off as soon as he saw this, but was shot several times in the process of escaping. The guy survived fortunately, but the crew who setup the trap ended up getting away.

Things like this are what makes me hesitant to take advice from random strangers telling me my car is jacked up and to let them “fix” it.

2 people in a row? Seriously?

I found a stolen car in our alley a few years ago – tracked down the owner and she told me this same scenario, only she did stop, then the man yanked her away and stole her car. If you suspect something might actually be wrong, slow down and wait for the “alerting” driver to drive away, then proceed to the nearest populated place to check it out yourself.

I have no shame and decided I’d rather drive on a flat and ruin my car than deal with some shady dude on the street. Got to the Arboretum and everything was fine with the tire. Next time I’ll get the plate number and call the cops.

We checked out his car, and everything was great. Don’t fall for this!
