“Dear PoPville,

I’m in search of a Good Samaritan who helped me when my car broke down in Petworth earlier today (Tuesday), and hoping you can help connect us so I can return items he lent me to get my car running again.

At around 11 a.m. today (Tuesday April 13), a man saw that the hood of my red Jeep was erupting steam and brought me a container of water and a rag before going back inside.

Unfortunately I was so stressed out that I forgot his name (Aaron?) and where he said he lived (Rock Creek Church Road?), but I’d like to return his items. I got the car running long enough to get home, where it promptly crapped out again, BTW.

Note: this is not a missed connection — just grateful to have gotten the help and want to return his stuff.”
