Okay, so the vehicle was broken-down, not the couple. (indirect SSLR) It was 110° out and they were stranded between exits, so minimum of 1/2 mile walk on scorching pavement, plus however far to the nearest payphone.
They probably were harboring stolen goods, given the way the guy tried to pitch me on a flat-screen TV he was selling "hella cheap!", and I'm pretty sure his girlfriend was high on something, but it was broad daylight on a crowded freeway with plenty of people around (and anyone who thinks he can wrestle my keys from my cold, dead hands is welcome to the car and the murder charge).
I gave 'em a ride about 3 miles out of my way. Never even got a "thank you" but they seemed grateful if too distracted for politeness. Not doing it for the thanks anyway. |
