What kind of an idiot stops and asks directions in Gilpin Court?

About 3:40 p.m., a motorist driving with his two children stopped his car in the 1200 block of St. Paul Street in the Gilpin Court housing project to ask for directions, police said.
Several people tried to steal the car and shot the vehicle at least twice as the man drove away, although no one was hurt, according to a police news release.

Two of the perpetrators have been arrested.
