         An Urgent Warning: A
        friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas.  Once
        she filled her gas tank and after paying at the pump and starting to
        leave, the voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker.  He
        told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to
        come inside to pay.  The lady was confused because the transaction
        showed complete and approved.  She relayed that to him and was
        getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her to come
        in to pay or there'd be trouble.  She proceeded to go inside and
        started arguing with the attendant about his threat.  He told her
        to calm down and listen carefully: 2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for reentry, and check in the back before getting in. 3.
        Always be aware of your surroundings and of other individuals in your
        general vicinity, particularly at night!
