Anadel Carrizales was driving near Monterrey, Mexico, when he saw a woman in a miniskirt broken down on the side of the road. It was a trap: when he stopped, the woman told him an accomplice had a gun pointed at him. She then super-glued his hands to his steering wheel, tied him up with shipping tape, and demanded his money. He didn't have any, so she took his credit cards and fled. Carrizales' engine was still running, so he drove until he found a police officer to help.
Now that's a stick-up...
