I love the fact that we are all praising the leaver of the note, but unfortunately I’m cynical by experience, an obviously nowehere near as big-hearted as Tejvan and co.
When I found my car (yes, sorry, I’m also a world-polluting driver) badly damaged, and a note on the windscreen I thought ‘great – an honest man!’
When I phoned the number, it was for the local Samaritans help line.
I hope this is one of those rare, genuine cases – but I wouldn’t hold my breath…
What’s really important here is that the person who left the message ostensibly realises the owner of the bicycle is a human being, who deserves due consideration. Whereas many people in car-centric societies, such as the UK seem to believe that a person who rides a bicycle has become a member of a different species, undeserving of any consideration or rights due to human beings. In-fact, some individuals seem to be maddened into a red-mist fury upon seeing someone riding a bicycle.
These people are very sick and should never be allowed to drive.
Wooh I wish people would be always honest like that.. dream, dream…
