Oh I 100% agree. He kept asking other people in stopped traffic and I can guarantee that there are one or two people gullible enough to just hand over their phone to a random person.

I was on my lunch break in Times Square in like 2014 and a German family came up to me out of nowhere on the street. The Mother handed me her phone with one of those cases where they had their credit cards and other things in a pocket and asked me if I knew the number for a cab to Rockefeller Center.

I was dumbfounded. Just gave me an $800 iPhone with zero hesitation. Those folks are definitely out there.
