I had something similar happen to me on July 30, 1998. I remember the date because we had just sold our townhouse and had closing and we were moving to a new home 13 miles away in a different suburb of Baltimore.
We stopped one last time at our neighborhood liquor store. I waited in the car out in front with the engine running while my wife went inside. As I sat there sort of day dreaming about our new home, a very tall, maybe 6'6" black fellow wearing all black clothing carrying a bag ran right in front of me and hopped into a car idling on the side of the liquor store. I had a strange feeling about the situation, an M&T Bank branch was about 100' to my left out in the parking lot. After my wife got back in the car, I pulled over to the bank and walked up to the front door. I found out they had just been robbed and I told them I was a witness. The detectives were there in minutes and I gave a description of the person and the car.
