One Tree Still

I believe I have...
It was about 7 years ago and I was getting cash from a cash machine in a relatively safe neighborhood, but it was about 2am, so I wasn't being very smart.
Anyway, about 10 seconds after I inserted my card, an SUV pulls up behind me and stops, but they didn't pull into a parking space, they pulled up directly behind me, like this...
Me............()
SUV.......>>>>
I wasn't going to turn around 'cause I didn't want to appear suspicous, even though I was pretty nervous. I heard the door on the car open (the music inside got a lot louder) and I was just getting ready to turn around to defend myself (this all happened very quickly) when a really nice guy walks out from around the corner of the bank - from behind the bank - smiles at me, and then stands next to me.
Immediately, the car door shut and the car drove away really quickly. My heart was pounding and I grabbed my cash and left as quickly as possible.
When I took a minute to sort it all out (and thank God profusely) I remembered feeling extremely threatened when the car pulled up and zero threat from the guy who appeared from nowhere.
His presence - or however he appeared to the guy(s) in the SUV was definitely the deterrent to them.
I left quickly because my adrenaline was pumping like crazy, but now I wish I had stayed to thank the guy.
