L'Es - and what if it had been a pretty damsel in distress? Do you always walk on by? I think I would have done similar to ifithelps - except I probably wouldn't have thought to lock my car first! I wouldn't have fallen for the gold trick either. I rarely carry that sort of amount in cash anyway.
My most gullible moment recently was at my front door. Some bloke selling a "cheap" service and MOT package from the local Mitsubishi dealer. The package was certainly attractive, but I first went through checking his credentials. When I was dubious he offered me the phone number of the local plod to check him, which I did. It didn't occur to me until SWMBO got in that it could have been any old number with a recorded background. (It was, however, genuine). (Oh, and the package wasn't as cheap as it looked as it didn't include parts - so a cheap headline cost.)
