Thank You, Stranger



Whilst yesterday evening I was at Ingo´s car a guy with a strong foreign accent stopped me.
He said there is a car parked down the road and the side window is wide open, if I wanna go have a look, maybe I know and can contact the owner.

How nice is that?
I thanked him and went to get a look, didn´t know but kept the number plate in mind.
Just wanted to get into our condo when the direct neighbour came out and I asked him.

His answer was no, but he´d seen another car down our road, too, well, what the heck.

What the heck???

(I went and found no such car with window down)

Went three storeys up to ask the neighbours who know everyone in the house, they had no idea, either.
I said, "OK, I call the police then".
C said she´d done that once, too, but no one came (at least she tried to help, too).

Well, I did, the officer took my name (what for???), the address of where the car was parked, which side was open and the number plate and said they send someone.

My, a total stranger passing by cares more than a neighbour.
Isn´t that sad?

(The weather is crazy atm, partly hot, then cold, guess that driver arrived in the hot period)

I said to Ingo that I wish this happens to said nasty neighbour and no one cares, the car gets stolen.
Well, that dude works for VW and sure has an insurance that would fully replace.

Great there are still people who DO care, right.

Ingo later went to have a look - the car was gone.
So... either the car had been stolen.
The owner drove away.
The police was not able to contact the owner and took the car to safety.
I hope for the second...



Lion(s) of the day - I sadly was slack with naming my pics lately, so I have no idea anymore where I got these...

Nice of the stranger to advise you. Hope the car was safe in the end.

I'm feeling good that you did what you could to help and I hope the car was safe.

Well, guess you two would do the same, I suppose! :-)
That´s what nice people do, right?

That was so nice of you to try and find the owner Iris, hope he/she came back to find their car safe and sound. I can't imagine leaving a window open!

Well, Grace, isn´t that much work, is it? Walk a few steps, then pick up the phone, no big deal :-)
It happened to Ingo, too, luckily a motorcyclist saw it and told him on the spot! Electrical windows, huh!

I hope everything turned out alright for the owner of that car. It's nice that some people do care.

Iris Flavia said...

I hope so, too. And I think it´s awful how my direct neighbour reacted...

Well, I just hope that everything turned out ok for the owner of that car.

All the best Jan
