Daylight robbery.. but give Good Samaritan a brake

Got to feel sorry for the Good Samaritan in Dundee who helped a chap struggling down the stairs of his close with an armful of belongings.

I mean, how was the caring, trusting soul supposed to know that the guy was pinching the stuff? Some of us can’t help but see the good in people.

Reminds me of the time I thought some helpful driver had vacated a parking space because they spotted me waiting in my car. With a cheery wave of gratitude, I pulled into the spot as the other motor was still reversing.

I’d parked and was on my way, full of renewed faith in the human race, when I heard the commotion. The driver-free car had rolled out of the space and crashed into another parked nearby.

The owner (nowhere to be seen) hadn’t been helping me out – they’d just forgotten to put their handbrake on. Oopsie.
