D*mn.... Until I got married only a couple of years ago, I've spent my entire adult life (into my mid-40s) as a single woman. Although I took (and take) no foolish risks, I've also never been willing to allow fear of crooks to keep me from going out at night, so I've faced a few situations like this.
Any stranger that approaches late at night boldly and without showing any concern that you might feel threatened is almost certainly up to no good.
You handled this well, I think, and not unlike how I've handled similar situations, although I'm not a night owl and rarely would be out quite that late.
