The Night We Were Saved by a Future Criminal

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.

 

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.
