An SC hailed a cab in New York City and asks to be driven home.....to Framingham MASSACHUSETTS, then told the cabbie a sob story about why she couldn't pay the $980 fare. She was subsequently arrested for larceny.
This story blows my mind.
Obviously we know what the score here is. She had no money and KNEW she wouldn't be able to pay, but she took the cab anyway and just tried to walk out on the bill.
But I'm surprised the cabbie even agreed to such a trip. NYC to Framingham is more than a 7 hour round trip. She should've been able to get a plane or train ticket for far less money, so that would've set my alarm bells ringing.
So yeah......this woman is clearly a scammer, but I can't help but feel that the cabbie walked (or should I say "drove?") right in to this situation by being a naive moron.
