This is the most awesome, and most scary thing that's ever happened to me.
I've been out of town the last couple days, and I was just leaving the city to head home so I stopped for gas at some random gas station. Nothing unusual about that. So, I get out and start pumping the gas. Its a bit slow to start, but I think nothing of it. Two guys, about 18-22 come out of the conveience store section, and call over "hey, you know where the nearest cash machine is?" "Sorry, I'm not from around here." They thank me and walk off. I notice one of them carrying a box of skates (I know this because I own the same skates). I think that's a tad odd since it's mid summer and no where near either a sporting goods store or an arena, but ignore it. Finish pumping the gas, close the gas tank and go inside to pay. The guy working the till is about 40, of Asian descent and looks absolutely terrified. He opens with, "you just saved my life". "Excuse me?" "Those two guys who just left? When you pulled up they were about to shoot me. One of them had a gun and they were going to rob me." There was a bit more detail, but you get the idea. As borne out by the security footage he showed the Cops when they arrived 10 minutes later, just before I pulled up one of them did indeed have a handgun a couple inches from the poor man's face and had been about to shoot him for the money in the till. If I hadn't stopped for gas, he'd be dead now. I'm actually surprised they didn't shoot the both of us, but I'm not complaining in the least. |

Awesome story. Damn hooligans.
Last year I missed a robbery by about a minute. I walked out of a gas station with a friend. We saw one of those "low rider" cars pull up. Two younger guys stepped out and went into the store and a woman got out and stood by the car, checking up and down the street. The two guys seemed nervous/paranoid. I told my friend it didn't smell right as we kept walking. About 5 minutes later we saw the car speeding away with a police car chasing shortly behind.

Sometimes you are at the right place at the right time. Sometimes you are at the right place at the wrong time. Sometimes you are at the wrong place at the right time or even at the wrong place at the wrong time. Life is random.

Probably saved your own ass, aswell. If you could have told them where the nearest ATM was, they likely would have taken you there at gunpoint and cleaned out your account.
