The number of assault, theft, robbery, etc. crimes that happen in WalMart parking lots every year is phenomenal.
We've had such crimes in WalMart parking lots and in other strip mall parking lots in daylight around here. You showed good judgment.
Walmart got it's own section in the town's police report where I used to live, and it's own color on the crime map. Car accidents, theft, robbery, battery ,domestic, public drunkenness, loitering, drug possession; the big box store is just a magnet.
Only thing I would have added was a suspicious persons report and vehicle description, and plate if possible. You were the mark that got away, the next guy might not be as savvy.

One goes against their instincts at their peril.

My instincts have saved my butt a couple of times.
If they needed help they could have asked Walmart security to call AAA, tow, 911 or whom-ever.
I hate to ignore people who need help, but when something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.

Good instincts can save you.You mentioned they were not 'clean cut',remember,clean cut people can kill you just as easy.
Pain is the best teacher,but nobody wants to go to his class.
When the past smothers the present, there is only desperation. When the future absorbs the present, life stands still. In either case a decision must be made because you only live now and you are only what you are now.
3 guys are perfectly capable of handling any problems they run into in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
I would've done the same thing, as would most others here.
Your spidey senses are there for a reason. You followed them and I agree with you. You did the right thing. Something seemed rotten in Denmark and I'm glad you didn't have to find out exactly what.
IMO, you did the right thing. As for the middle finger; ignore the moron and don't even acknowledge the gesture. If the clown did it after you passed by and wasn't sure if you saw it, provided you didn't flip him off back, there's a good chance he totally felt ignored by you, and that eats at those kinds of folks worse than anything.
