Back in the ‘80s, at Homestead, the newly arrived Haitians would lie in the road, feigning injury. Stop to help...get robbed.
Yep, when I worked for an oil seismic crew in the ‘80’s we were warned about this when working in Florida, around Miami.
Back in the day I was going to a friend’s parent’s house at the Jersey shore at night. Driving through the pine barons I had to take a leak. I pulled over at a random point in the middle of nowhere. Doing my business in front of my truck with the headlights on, I see a black dude sleeping in the ditch less than 10 yards from me. How I knew he was sleeping, I asked if he was “ok”. He moved a little and looked ok so I moved on. If I stopped 10 more yards down the road I would have run him over, and I was lucky I didn’t get jumped. Wild.
