Tonight, I ordered food from a local restaurant in the drive thru. As I pulled up to pay, the server says it is going to be about 5 minutes until my food is ready, so I pulled around front and waited for someone to bring out my order. In order to buy myself sometime I started checking my email account from my iPhone. As I was checking my email account, this guy in a hooded sweatshirt pulls up to my window and motions for me to let my window down. Hmm, I start thinking not a good idea and ignores the guy hoping he will go away. Finally he knocks on my window pleading for me to roll down the window and help him pull his food out of the bag so he can eat or something. I am not sure of what is going on, so immediately I start to look for my pepper spray. The guy then notice that I have a cell phone in my hand and starts to back way and wonders off on his bicycle. What is wrong with this picture? Was this an attempted robbery gone bad for fear I was calling 911? Or did he truly need help? Well, I believe that this was a robbery attempt spoiled by the presence of my cellphone. If he truly needed help, he could have walked into the restaurant or motioned for the police who was less than 200 feet away assisting a disabled motorist. Whatever it was, I just thank GOD I did not fall victim to some one's stupidity. Just remember times are changing, be careful and alert. Carry some type of protection if you are out late at nite, even if it is only a cellphone. ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS AND RIDE WITH YOUR WINDOWS ROLLED UP!!! I can only imagine if my door was unlocked and my windows were down.
