Man, that is some crap there!! Jim was just telling me early today that the same thing happened to him... People are out of there minds. If you need another let me know, I will take care of you. I will eat the shipping to help you out getting another. It's not much, but hopefully it will encourage you for doing the right thing.

Yup My last trip from FL to MA I stopped in a rest area and a young couple was having problems with their EX. I changed the CPS out he asked for my address so that he could pay me for it. I had a feeling that I would never see the check. Good thing it was the crappy $25 that he got.

Sorry you got stiffed like that.

What goes around comes around 7 fold. I have been humbled by that from the members on this forum

Don't let it stop you from helping people out. Most are not like that.

Jim, maybe they are just having a hard time and a check will show up in the mail one day.

Thats what I was thinking, checks in the mail. lol.

This sucks when people do stuff like this. I wonder what they were thinking, "this guy stoped and helped us, so lets screw him". Don't make sense.

I guess its hard to trust people you don't know to pay you back for a good deed. I would have a hard time giving out parts that would keep me off the side of the road.
