It’s usually best not to reply to such vague statements. Often, if you just sit there quietly, they’ll elaborate to fill the awkward silence.

Thanks. I'll use that tactic whenever someone says "I've got nothing to hide".

they’ll elaborate to fill the awkward silence.

and if they don't, you'll instantly know that they're on the spectrum. lol

Do you mean to tell me that "you've got nothing to hide"?
Like no bodies at all?

I've got nothing left to hide. "Never put off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today" and all that.

Say they are only repeating Big Privacy talking points

Ask: "how quickly do you need to get rid of it, and how much cash have you got right now?"

Real leather or Naugahyde?

When I was a GM at dollar tree I had an employee who would try to flirt with me. One day she asked “can you keep a secret?”

I replied “no I can’t”

Like a salami?
