I just was at the Sakura machi Family Mart when I saw something troubling.
A man like literally threw a woman in his car at the family mart parking. She looked unconscious. I asked him 'daijobu?' and he was like 'yeah'.
It all happened so quickly in like 5 seconds but now I'm super worried.
Was she having too much alcohol at the festival, was she intoxicated by him, was she just not feeling well?
Whats the best to do in this situation? Stop them and call for help just in case? Call an ambulance?

I think you should have punched him and called the police.
Hear me out. The police can legitimately can come now because you committed a crime.
If in fact had he drugged her and/or intoxicated her then you become the hero. He’ll be charged and hopefully your crime will be forgotten.
If on the other hand he was minding his own business and taking care of her then you’ll be the one in trouble for misreading the situation.
So, in the end how do the odds look? Worth getting involved or worth giving him the benefit of the doubt. We didn’t see the incident so can’t really judge which is more likely.
I’m not serious about punching him in case anyone was wondering but using it as lead up to calculating the odds of potentially being wrong.
I would have called the police, especially if in broad daylight. It doesn’t seem normal at all.
Were you able to take a pic of the plates? Or if fam mart has any cctv cameras at the parking lot?
I know this is Reddit so everyone is going to be over the top, but realistically there isn’t much you could have done. I guess maybe at best take a pic of the plate and call it in, but the odds of the police following up on it, especially in time to intervene if it was a bad situation, are very low.
That being said it’s not completely uncommon for people to get overly drunk here, both foreigner or local. I would say the odds are much higher that it was someone trying to get their friend / SO home after they’ve been day drinking rather than drugging and kidnapping them in the middle of the day.
It wouldn’t have hurt to have their plate and make a report just for evidence in case something did happen, but I wouldn’t beat yourself up over it.
Update:
Went to the family mart. The manager didn’t want to get involved but luckily another employee was very considered and listened, checked cameras and informed the police.
Did you notice if it was a わ plate? Those are rentals. Then they can quickly trace it to the renter.
