I got a little freaked out last night
I went food shopping at 8pm last night. As I was putting the groceries in my car, some weird girl (in her 20s I'd say) came up to me. It was pitch black and there was no one else in the parking lot.
She fed me some BS story about how she is moving from point A to point B and she just ran out of gas and is looking to scrounge up any change she can because she has to fill her tank.
I told her that I had no cash on me and she said thanks and walked away.
It really left me with an eerie feeling though. At first I thought that maybe she was distracting me or something so that someone else could steal something from my car (my back was to the car) but that wasn't the case.
Should I have called the police? I wasn't sure, so I never did....

Re: I got a little freaked out last night
That would freak me out to if I was all alone and it was dark. It sounds like she was either looking for money or genuinely out of cash. You said nothing was missing from your car?

Re: I got a little freaked out last night
The same thing happened to DH and I last weekend. We were in the shopping center in Farmingdale by Republinc Airport around 9 p.m. DH and I just pulled into a parking spot and some guy was approaching our car.. I quickly had my windows go up and locked the doors.. because you never know.. he still came up to the door with the same story... that he needed a couple of dollars for gas.. etc.. I just motioned.. No I don't have.. sorry with the windows still up. He left and then DH and I got out of the car once we saw he was heading towards another car with some lady getting out two rows away. We watched him. The lady proceeded to go in her bag and hand him some money.. what a D***ASH! He could have grabbed her bag and ran if he wanted to.. it was dark in that parking lot an not many people were around. This sure is some scam.

Re: I got a little freaked out last night
That would've freaked me out too!! 
I'd feel really bad if she was legit, but it certainly sounds like a scam.

I was just going to post that it sounds like what happened to me in the stop and shop parking lot in woodbury, except the woman was in her minivan.

Re: I got a little freaked out last night
THat would freak me out too. Especially when its dark out and I'm in a parking lot. I'm glad nothing came about with that.
