Over the years I have offered help to lots of motorists. Most of the time their initial response is one of suspicion. Lots of times help is simply refused. It has gotten to the point that I am reluctant to even offer any more. Unfortunately, a lot of this suspicion is warranted. There are lots of bad people out there.

I remember when I lived down in Miami, Fl., there were a rash of cases where the opposite scenario occurred. In one case, two young girls were pulled over on Krome Ave, a remote road at the time. They appeared to be stranded. Two young men stopped to help them. The whole thing was a trap, they were killed by two other men hiding just off the road and their car was stolen. Apparently the car they were in (also stolen) ran out of gas and so they needed a new one so they could continue their "joy riding" for the evening.

Just goes to show you, no good deed goes unpunished.
