Had the county snowplow go by our place Sunday. Gets stuck just down the road, the snow was to deep. He got out and backed all the way out. An hour later a man comes along in an expensive BMW car and gets stuck just past our house. Our 17 year old son was outside and the guy told him he had to get him out. Son gets us. Guy says that we have to help him, but we are not to damage the car in any way. This is where life lessons kick in.
One there is nowhere on a car like that where you can hook on a chain to a tractor and pull that you will not damage the vehicle. Two when someone warns you not to damage the vehicle they are the type of person that has no problems taking you to court. We told him to call a tow company. Instead he calls the sheriff's office. Sheriff's Deputy comes and asks us why after we promised to help the man that we wouldn't. We told him we said no such thing, and asked the Deputy if he would assist in our situation and his reply was no. The Deputy took the man to a hotel, and by morning the car was buried in snow and it took an endloader to get to it.
I'm not heartless. I've pulled many people out. Most were trucks or larger SUVs that have places to hook onto without doing damage. The individual was from the cities, and in his late 50's. Old enough to know what to not do in a situation like this, but still did it anyway.
