don't suppose he poured a bit of petrol on your car while you weren't

Obvious in the clear light of day, but useful to be aware in that
situation, its easy to be bamboozled. Like the cash-card swipers that
distract you just as you get money out but before your card


I thought most cashpoints return the card first, and only offer the
cash one it's taken.
