But if you had conceled yr self so well that the scrap yard appeared abandoned, how can you expect people to ask you first?

If I owned the yard I'd call to you from a concealed location and say that there were several guns pointed at you, then I'd give you the chance to explain yr self.

As for being the guy who was scavenging the oil in the first place, you may have a friend or relative hidden in the bushes who sees the yard owner with a shot gun pointed at you and then kills him first, but how does your friend/relative know there aren't ten people living in the yard who then shoot the scavenger (you) and hunt downthe yard owners assasin, eventualy finding him and killing his entire family?
