[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 517961, member: 84"] Hmm. Well, it's certainly odd. But given she showed you ID and gave you where she lives and her cell, sounds like she may just be having some really lousy luck. Awful nice of you to give her the cash. I'm not sure if I would have or not, but probably not. But........when easy child was a baby, we'd just moved to dayton not long before, I was at a new job driving a 5 speed for the first time.......discovered the windshield wipers didn't work in the middle of one of those down pours you can't see your hand in front of your face. I pulled over to the side of the road and ran with easy child to the first house I spotted. Yes, I was panicked. husband was out of town for work. I didn't know anyone except his parents. So I knock on the door (I'm sure I was a sight now that I think about it from their perspective) I'm hysterical trying to explain the wipers won't work in a car I'm unfamiliar with and I just learned to drive the day before (20 mins worth of lessons) and that would they please let me call mother in law for help. They were a nice older couple and sat me down and talk to me to calm me down then let me call mother in law. Not long after the rain stopped.......and well, on the way home I got into an accident by a drunk who rear ended me (that was NOT a good day lol ) but that wasn't their fault. So it's very likely what she said was true. I hope she calls you to pay you back or pays it forward. I went more than 15 yrs here without ever locking a door. I lock them now. The economy has made for some mighty desperate people in the area. :( [/QUOTE]
