My wife and I found ourselves in a precarious situation one night when our car broke down in a desolate area at 2 AM.With no mobile phones to call for assistance, we were left waiting in the dark, feeling increasingly anxious about our predicament. Just when we were beginning to lose hope, a young man appeared and offered to help us. He kindly drove us to the nearest town, and despite our insistence, he refused to accept any payment for his assistance. He simply smiled and said, “Happy to help,” as he dropped us off.
Fast forward several years, and I received a phone call from my wife that left me shaken. She was in tears and urged me to turn on the news. As I did, I was met with a shocking revelation: the very same man who had helped us that night was not who we thought he was. Instead of being a college student, he was a 35-year-old criminal with a long list of offenses, wanted in multiple states. The news report detailed how he had committed over 30 robberies, specifically targeting individuals who were stranded or vulnerable in isolated areas during the late hours of the night.
