I did a nice thing on Saturday

Well. I believe that i am one of the people thats responsible for making sure there are at least a handfull of nice guys left on this planet.

on saturday after riding my bike home from purchasing a block splitter *those big logs are mighty hard to light withough kindling* i noticed a young guy trying to open his car with an undone coat hanger.

after 10 minutes of trying to help him (having done this a few times myself). i called my father who being a used car salesman has probably done this maybe 150 - 200 times before in his lifetime.

He came from all the way across town with some tools and had the car open in 2 minutes using only some box tape.

Now, without me, this guy would have been stuffed. so in return for the favour he bought me a six pack of amber god liquid. One good deed deserves another they say.

just checking, was he trying to break in as he locked he keys in? or did you help him steal it, as it sounds like

yeah sounds like he was tring to steal it! Well done DoktoSkell, you are one of the good guys.

And fantastically if he was pinching it You've just posted your guilt on the internet
Hope it was a nice deed.

There is a difference between being a nice bloke and a sucker

Least you got a reward for it

Im sure he had lost his keys, and you did the good thing

if he was trying to break in, surely he'd be GOOD at using the coathanger technique?

nope... you get some pretty stupid car theives
