A Nighttime Encounter with Kindness

Betsy Cornwell shares a remarkable experience from her youth that highlights the unexpected acts of kindness from strangers. After working a late shift at a computer assembly plant, she found herself in a difficult situation when her car key broke, leaving her stranded in an empty parking lot. A man, who introduced himself as a car thief, approached her and offered to help start her car, demonstrating a willingness to assist despite his unconventional admission. This encounter led to him following her home, making sure she arrived safely, ultimately showcasing how a single act of kindness can leave a lasting impression, regardless of the helper's background.
