My answer at that point would have been "I'm sure you do, but I just don't want to do it."77346 wrote:Coincidentally, something similar happened to me last summer... at a Kroger's in Atascocita, and also on a early Saturday morning
Two guys in one vehicle offered to buff my driver's side front fender to remove a large scratch I have, which wasn't visible from their angle (so they must have looked at my car while I was inside). I said "no thanks" and the driver started raising his voice saying something about him having a legit business.
I doubt they're the same people, but perhaps there is something about fishing for victims at Kroger's on Saturday mornings...

Re: Parking lot scam or prelude to robbery?
I'm guessing robbery, and possibly auto-theft, over a scam. Robbery/grand theft auto is simpler and faster. The time it takes to perpetrate a scam is time you have to memorize faces and collect information that could be used by police against the scammers. In the mean time, robbers/carjackers would have been long gone.
