Honestly, I would fall into this trap.

The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

    As we all know, the worst of the worst tends to stop to help stranded motorists. It’s a well-documented criminal trait.

      In the UK in the late 70’s they rolled out a scheme where they fitted disabled drivers cars with little flags they could raise if they were in trouble. There were TV campaigns to make people aware - “if you see this flag, the driver needs help”.

      Campaign was swiftly abandoned, because enough people saw the flag to mean “I cant defend myself and will be easy to steal from!” that it did more harm than good.

      I may be from a hive of scum and villainy (southsiiiiide!), but also I have jumper cables, so back up while I take care of this.
