you know how we do it in (actually not me ) in my country,
we just throw our selves on a slow moving car (a good one ,mercedes may be ) making a scene . the man might be good enough to get out of the car offering you money to go not telling the cops about that horrible accident .
some time times it works good ,but most of the times you got killed .
so good luck.
a good other hint = catch your neibours cat and your freainds dog , make a small circus make a show at the near park , but be careful not to make your freind see his dog being kicked when not doing well.
