Attempted Robbery HEB in Atascocita
 
My wife was putting the kids in the car when a white lady in her late 20's early 30's wearing blue scrubs approached her asking for money. In a sweet but obviously fake voice Her story was that she ran out of gas and her kids were in the car and she needs to get to Beaumont. My wife immediately put the boys in the car as well as her purse and proceeded with putting groceries in the trunk. The lady kept telling her story and by then the groceries were all put up and kids in the car. My wife proceeded to get inside the vehicle and the lady followed my wife around to the drivers side. She then started to knock on the drivers window saying "I know you have money you just got groceries" in a very ghetto tone. Definetely not the nice demeanor she gave off at the beginning. As my wife started to back out she noticed the lady in scrubs walk towards a black male inside a gold SUV. She got in and drove off with the black male. My wife was parked in the center of the parking lot in between a couple of cars around 1:30 in the afternoon.

Its a common scam - with many variations. If approached like this yell or something to attract attention from people around.
 
they will flee quickly.

well the lady had the audacity to kick my wife's car as she left. I told my wife to scream FUG OFF next time and im sure that'll gather enough attention. She said there were people all around but nobody really noticing the situation.

From what I have been reading on FB, this lady in scrubs has been around the area doing this for quite a while... at least a few months now. I am sorry that your wife and kids had to go through this. I really hate scammers!

This lady has been running this scam for a couple years now. She jumps from store to store in the area.

Unfortunately, just about everyone has been approached at one time or another by scam artists trying to get money out of you (happens to me often at gas stations!). It's annoying, but not attempted robbery.
 
Sorry that happened to your wife. People suck. Emoticon

I've had this happen to me before at a gas station. Never at a grocery store. And for you to talk like a lady one second and then talk like a hood rat the next is very suspicious. Plus the whole i'm wearing scrubs thing is a HUGE red flag. If you own scrubs you should have a decent job that can pay for your gas. And this lady immediately took off with the black guy in a vehicle that seemed to have plenty of gas.

Does your vehicle have an alarm? Most have panic buttons. Your wife should try this. I was approached once while shopping and getting in my car. It works like a charm. And it turns off easily.
I appreciate the post. It's a hard lesson but never give money to anyone bold enough to approach you in this manner especially when you have a child with you. Feel lucky the guy didn't get out to join her.

I can only agree with you bc it didn't happen. But had my wife shown her wallet I do believe she would have done more than just accepted money based on the fact that she attacked my wife's vehicle.
 
Attempt:
an undertaking to do an act that entails more than mere preparation but does not result in the successful completion of the act
 
Robbery:
is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force or threat of force or by putting the victim in fear

Yes this lady frequents the store around here. It's usually Walmart. There have been other pictures of her on Facebook I'll try to see if I can find one
