This friend of mine was almost a victim of this modus operandi where someone suddenly jumps in front of the car and pretends he's been hit.

Buti na lang my friend was slowing down to make a turn and was alert enough to stop. While the guy was on the ground, my friend did not step out of the car, since he knew that this may be a set up. After a while, the guy peeked over the hood, stood up and pretended to be in pain. My friend made a motion to the guy that he's such an actor, then waved him away, and drove off when the a-hole went to the side. This happened I think in the corner of EDSA and Shaw, mga 10pm na.

Anyone had similar experiences? BTW, binalikan pala ng friend ko ang place after a while, with a cop in tow, kaso wala na ang loko. :mad:
