It doesn't seem like something q would do, though. Why leave it stand for so long and then delete when asked? Like a puppy trick.
Our car broke down in eastern Washington state back in the early 70s. We were standing by the road next to a cornfield trying to figure out what to do, next thing we knew, bullets or something were whizzing by. We ran up the road a bit and hitchhiked. Never went back for the car.
Saw this posted on night shift, too.
