Tony Stewart was not involved?! What a pleasant surprise...

It could be hindsight and all that, but, why would you go to a rest stop at 2 am? That seems intuitively unsafe. Why not stop at a truck stop or gas station? The only time I have ever been to a rest stop at that time of night is to sleep in my locked truck.

Michael Honeycutt, 48, of Seattle...

Problem one: 3,000 miles from home and on unfamiliar turf.

...was beaten and robbed at a northbound rest stop on Interstate 85, investigators said.

Problem two: Stopping at a public rest stop for any reason.

The attack happened around 2 a.m.

Problem three: Stopping anywhere and getting out of his car at 2 a.m.

My in-laws live near that rest stop. My wife said she learned as a kid to never stop there for *any* reason...
