This happened to a friend in NYC, as well. But instead of coffee or a bag of "important stuff" he claimed my friend knocked his glasses off and they got smashed.
If anyone tried pulling this scam on me, I'd suggest we get the police involved so they can take down a report for my own "insurance purposes." If they guy is legit, I'm sure he'd have no problem with that.
