My wife and I were returning from a party at 2 AM when our car broke down in a remote area. With no mobiles, we waited until a college student offered us a ride to town. We tried to pay him, but he said, “Happy to help.”
The Night We Were Saved by a Future Criminal
Years later, my wife called me in tears, urging me to check the news. The “student” was actually a 35-year-old wanted criminal who had robbed over 30 people in remote areas, targeting late-night drivers.
I had chills realizing how close we came to danger. Perhaps he spared us because there were two of us, or I appeared intimidating. Whatever the reason, we were incredibly lucky to leave that night unharmed.
