Or, on the flip-side, someone would be helping you. It seems like you hardly see that in the DC area--refreshing to hear someone gave you an anonymous boost.

I was caught on a one-way street that had not been plowed yet and got stuck. Sure enough, a cop pulls up behind me and I explain my situation. I half expected to get the car towed because I had quite a few outstanding parking tickets in the town and my inspection was expired. However, he simply pushed me through the snow bank with his super-strong bumper and 300-horsepower cruiser. No ticket, jail time, no pistol whipping. It was a wintertime miracle.
