Hello everybody!
Here is the whole sentence.
If asked to look after luggage for someone else, inform police at once.
Does if asked mean if you are/were asked.
The sentence does not make sense to me. Why should police be informed? For fear that the luggage might contain something dangerous?
Thank you.
