One of our neighbours' kids used to be a bit of a ne'erdowell, getting into trouble quite often. Bit worse than most kids, was even banned from town centre at one point if I recall correctly.

A few weeks ago in the first cold snap someone came off the road and plowed through next door's drive, their fence, my garden and stopped inches from my porch. Some of the houses here have very steep drives and the ice makes them treacherous. He just couldn't reverse out.

Him and his mates spent a good hour trying to get the hapless driver back on the road. Of course I made sure his mum heard me say thanks.

Today on my way home I see him and his mates clearing peoples drives of snow and ice. Now maybe there was something in it for him, like a bit of beer money... but then why not?

Renewed my faith in humankind he has. Even the baduns can turn out good afterall.
