I was at the bank drive thru yesterday making a deposit. I had noticed a full size conversion van sitting about 40 feet back of the lanes when I pulled in. Once I had put my checks into the tube, the van pulled up next to me and honked. I looked over and I saw a 30-ish looking woman waving to me. I rolled down my window and she said "your car is leaking green liquid". I said "my car?" and she said "Yes, I saw it leaking out of your car as you pulled up." At that point, I knew she was lying her buttocks off. I have the orange long life coolant in my car. I just told her I`d have to run by my mechanic and have it checked.
Normally, I`d think she was just trying to be nice, but it was pretty obvious she was lying since my coolant isn`t green and she specifically said "green liquid". Let`s see what this could lead to. I finish my transaction, pull off into the large parking lot, pop my hood and with my back to the world, start poking around. Pretty easy for her to signal someone in the parking lot to either rob me or steal my car. Just leaving a bank, I might have a lot of money on me, right? My back is turned, I am concentrating on finding a leak and might not hear someone come up behind me. In addition, a lot of people leave their car running when looking under the hood. Pretty easy to just hop in, back up and drive off far enough to get the hood closed and take off before anyone could catch up.
Question-this really seems like a scam of some sort to me. Should I call the local police department and report it?
