This is an urban legend in every city I've ever lived in.

And he stood up out of the wheelchair and walked to his Mercedes and drove away and that's why I never give to homeless people (or formal charities).

Sadly such things do happen:

I look forward to you donating that $200 to a homeless charity, KingMob.

Gonna need a Benz for the full $200.

And I always donate directly to the homeless, too many charities have excessive overhead.

It has happened.

I can't attest to the other parts, but I can attest to the nice cars part.
