today on my way home from work there was a truck broke down on the highway, so being the nice guy that i am i stopped it was a 2001 f250 psd , i walk over and ask if i can help, the guy says it just quit getting on the highway so i checked the oil it was good then i got my code reader and told him i would check to see if it was something that would trip a code, and sure enough it was his cps, he didnt have a spare so i told him i had one and would put it in if he would pay for it, i told him 50$ he said sure if it works, so after getting the old one out and the new one in it started and ran fine, he said follow me to the gas station 2 exits up and ill get you youre money out of the atm, well he got the green light and i got the red and guess what, he wasnt at the gas station , what apeice of work hes from vermont, wish i had gotten his plate number,oh well next time ill think twice!!

WHAT !.. Dang that sucks. That disturbs me greatly..
I would have paid you and taken you out for cheeseburgers and beer and you would have made a friend for life. Says allot about a person to stop and offer assistance like you did. For that i applaud you.

That sucks to hear. Good on ya for helping anyways.
9 out 10 times people are worth pulling over to help. I usually avoid working on people's cars but when I see older people on the side of the road with a flat tire I am always more than happy to help them.

Wouldnt that be sweet if you could go and find his truck, pull your CPS back out, and sprinkle some metal shavings in the hole. Karma is a bitch

Wow,some people just amaze me. You helped him out and he screwed you. 
There is a special place for that guy 
, what a scumbag. Like everyone said he WILL get whats coming. Hopefully this bad experience will not keep you from helping anyone else out. Reps for helping him out.

what a tool, that will come back and bite him hard. I had a worker that would always pull that kinda stuff. He messed with the wrong boy and they used what appeared to be "appeared" hehe a sawzall to cut out his steering collum. then once he fixed that he seized the engine. It "appeared" that they put about a gallon of antifreeze in the oil..
Guess what.. he don't mess with nobody anymore.. BTW it was a 05 5.9 cummins they "appeared" to destroy
