    The OP sits and makes these scenarios up to start arguements; this didn't happen at all, i'll bet.

    Try checking out his other nonsense threads; exciting life this guys had in the last wee while,eh?

    What do the attackers trying to lure you out of your car say differently to the genuine cases in this situation then?

    its also wrong to think that a woman might not be dangerous - I read in a travel book cant remember what country this is, but one scam was a lone female would pretend to have broken down, a car would pull to help her, but the female was working with a gang who would then appear and steal the good samaritans car.

    How could you tell they were Muslims in the pitch dark ?
    They must have been shouting

    Yeah it's pretty common all over the world for a woman on her own to get used as a honey-trap to get people to stop.

    So what? Even if you're right, I don't care, it gives us something different to chat about.

    Yes I would stop & help,
    but in this scenario the BUMP start should have got the car working, so your offer of help with a JUMP start would likely have had no effect.

    im not that good with cars, but I do have a jump start kit, an emergency thing with a battery inside it.....that has helped me quite a few times, I would have let them use that. I know that people push their cars and then start it going, is that called a bump start?

    The incident is genuine, and I posted here partly to relieve my conscience for not stopping, im glad that most have said they think it was the right thing to do.
