This is the kind of person you want to help

John Florida:
  It was supposed to be Walter Carr's first day of work with a moving company Sunday when his car broke down. But, instead of calling out, he walked through the night to be on time.

Carr's vehicle stopped working the night before his first day with the moving company Bellhops, and he knew he couldn't miss it. So, he decided to walk. Carr began his hike from Homewood, Alabama, to the town of Pelham, Alabama, at midnight. He walked at least 14 miles before police picked him up at 4 a.m., reports CBS affiliate WIAT-TV.

Once police heard his story, they took Carr to breakfast. Then, they gave him a ride the rest of the way to the home of the Lamey family, who he was scheduled to help move that morning.

Good begets good.

The only thing shocking about this is that an MFM outlet ran the story.  Not the usual characterization given.  The realist in me sees a leftnut editor checking off a quota box for this year.

Heard different story. 1st set of cops did take him to breakfast but left. 2nd crew saw him walking again and took him to work. Boss gave him his car
