This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

This guy has the worst luck!
Walking in to a restaurant one day, I was approached by a guy.

"Hey man. My car broke down and it was towed. They won't let me have it back until I pay for the tow, and I'm just a couple dollars short. Can you help me?"

I never give money. I'll put a few dollars in gas in someone's car, or take them inside to get them some food, but never cash.

"No. Sorry." I told him and went along my way.

A few weeks later, I was going in to the same restaurant, and the same guy came up to me.

"Hey man. My car broke down and got towed. I need just a couple bucks to get it back. Can you spare some?"

Wow! That poor guy! He either needs a new car or he's been waiting an awful long time to get his car back!

but
if you had given him money the first go around, then he would have had enough to get his car back!
