I'm not sure how one can determine that someone else is "casing their car". Sounds far more like the guy was making sure it wasn't the cops (assuming he was a doper) or was just looking while waiting for his partner to show up. And to echo others, why get the food and eat it in the parking lot? Get the key, get into the room, then go get food and bring it back to the room.
