Last night during dinner at China Station (the only Chinese restaurant in Mariposa, CA) my grandmother told us about the first time she visited New York about 40 years ago. She and my grandfather returned to their parked car to discover that their car was all scratched up but also discovered a little note from a stranger who had witnessed the crime. Not only did this person leave the note but called 3 days later to make sure the note was received. These were pre-google days of course and the witness got their contact info from the obligatorily displayed registration information wrapped around the steering wheel with address, phone #, etc in plain view. So 40 years later, New Yorkers are still up to their good deeds!

We were walking home from Chelsea when we noticed a motorcycle on its side...with a little note attached!

Jonah reached for the note...

and this is what it said: "I saw a car hit your motorcycle..." and listed the relevant info about the car and the witness' cell #

Who says New Yorkers aren't kind??!!

So Jonah crumpled up the note, shot it into the nearby trashcan and we were on our merry way...J/K!! J/K!!
