Almost Robbed!
Visiting a couple stores for electronics I found myself in BayShore late evening. Driving by the LIRR parking lot I spot a petite, late 20's wsw (rare sight, couldn't pass up). She hops in and notices the big, but inexpensive object in my back seat asking if she could have it.
She says her name is Theresa (I think), I ask if she has a place, she replies yes but she will need a couple minutes to clean up once we get there. Drive down Union, turn onto Sunset Rd. (one of the nicer streets in BS area), and park in the short driveway (she suggested and it's only like 20' from the street in full view). She gets out says she will flash the house light when she's ready, opens door with a key (good sign) and enters the house.
20 minutes pass (omg) and I see a car drive past the driveway, turn around, drive past again, turn around again, and park on the street in front of the neighbors house (not obvious at all). Guy gets out and walks directly across the lawn to my car and tries to hide next to it (I have dark tint, he couldn't see me). I start my car and back out (right then she flashes the lights for me to come in), he runs back to his 2-tone burgundy (upper)/champagne(lower) Subaru(?) and I split.
IDK what the plan was, to rob me as I exited the vehicle (why suggest I park in driveway then), or they just got timing messed up, how could he expect me NOT to see him come over to my car?! In either case situational awareness was key.
