A while back I would have posted this is the "Mouse-allaneous" thread, but since it's no longer around, this header seemed to be the most appropriate...
Has anyone ever encountered someone (usually nicely dressed, and very cordial) who approaches you and tells a story about either being robbed of all of their money/luggage, or of an issue with their baggage at the airport that left them in a similar situation....and then ask you for money to help them?
I ask because we've experienced this twice in the last five years, and our neighbors who just returned from thr DLR had the same experience.
The first time we were approached in the parking lot of the Ramada. The next time we were at the Chevron on Harbor.
Our friends just got back from staying at the Castle inn, and described a situation that was eerily similar.
I understand that in touristy areas, these types of things are not uncommon, but I was just curious if anyone else had experienced anything like that.
Thanks!
