These people's stories are always so fake.

The watching the car protection racket is a very common thing in many countries in the world my friend. Just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean it's not true.

Nah, it's the way it's delivered, not the content.
It's got the same structure and style as those ones where some person is proud of their 10 month year old for looking at the TV and saying, "Go Trump!"
A fragment of truth, with 99% of "I wish it went like this" spun in. The sardine becomes a tuna.
Unless it's true that someone will wash your car and go up against car thieves for $15 and say something like that. I guess it's technically not...impossible. "Thank ya Miss Kenzie. Have a good day Miss Kenzie. God bless Miss Kenzie."

You clearly haven’t seen Bumfights.

And then there's me. My 10yo says something like "I wish we could kick Trump out of office." I don't talk about politics at home, I merely answered his questions when he asked around election time (Who you voting for? Why not Trump? etc), but haven't mentioned him since.
I might be a little proud, but mostly because he remembered who the President is.

It resonates precisely because it sounds so believable.
Incidentally, for all the "homeless people are shaking me down!" hate, what the story doesn't have is the army of drunk frat bros or rival football hooligans who do all the damage.

If it was a homeless guy, there'd be like 2-3 cars w/ windows smashed in until they found one w/ money. If it was a "professional" thief, it would be a handful of cars w/ obvious valuables inside. So I'm thinking some kind of gang or group.

It's called a "fraternity" when you're on a college campus.

That homeless man turns out was Elon Musk. He was inspired by what happened to steal even more.

Maybe but also I bike around a lot, offer to buy people things if I'm going past a cafe or grocery store and not in a rush, and have asked the person to watch my bike while I'm in there. I've left all kinds of stuff I wouldn't normally on and in the bike and they've always watched over it even in sketchy areas or with stuff worth more than the coffee I'm about to grab them. So I'd file this one under "possible even if improbable, and could be exaggerated"

Asking strangers has proven a winning strategy, based on some research.
