Can I Borrow Your Keys?

The stranger in the Del Taco parking lot seemed pretty sheepish. He began a long-winded explanation, telling me how he had locked his car keys in his car, but the locks really weren't keyed properly, so any thin key would suffice to open the door, and so, to make a long story short, could he borrow my car keys?

Hmmmmm - sounded implausible. Plus, I was unusually vulnerable, since I was carrying several thousands of DMTC dollars with me, as I prepared to make a bank deposit, in my capacity as DMTC Treasurer.

So - sure! Why not? I handed over my key chain, he opened his car and thanked me profusely, and we both went our separate ways.
