why? they do it because it works
They do it because they can't get good jobs in a normal business.
an need little help and same time steal. Or they have a not working card at tge gasstation and offer fake money for if you want to use your card. At gasstations or parking places, they give free an amulet or something with a gps chip inside. They first copied your car key signal and with gps take the car or search the car from your next stop. They also go smarter and good with tech.
Best tip, ignore strangers, dont be helpfull or polite and if its in your ability react little agressive on situations when you feel a scam comming. They look for your moment for understanding a situation and in those one or two minutes you are already losing your valuable items.

For luck I already knew just to go around by cab. Less hassle, cheaper and much more secure
