Bates: Wanting to thank an unsung hero

I had an experience this morning (Tuesday July 24th) at roughly 9:30AM that left me DEEPLY grateful to an unknown woman. I had just escorted my friend to help her retrieve critical documents and her transponder from her car, which had been totaled by someone running a stop sign and ramming into it. We drove off from the Roche Collision, Inc. lot on Crafts Street and had just reached a red traffic light at the corner of Newtonville and Harvard when a young woman jumped out of the car behind us and got our attention. She told us that a transponder was on our car roof and that she had seen papers fly off our roof when we had turned onto Crafts street from Roche Collision Inc.

We high-tailed it back and managed to collect all the important legal docs from the middle and edge of Crafts Street… not even any tire marks on them!

I’ll never know whether this wonderful woman drove out of her way to follow us through two turns and over four blocks to tell us about the loss, but regardless we are DEEPLY GRATEFUL to her for her kindness.
