Have you ever left something in your car that by all accounts, you probably really shouldn't have? I'm not talking about pets or children in this case (which you shouldn't leave unattended in your car for entirely different reasons), but rather something that could very well result in your car getting broken into because of its presence there.

We've all done it at some point; you're in a rush, you've been fighting traffic for the last hour or two, you grab everything that seems important, and dash out of your car towards whatever meeting or gig has your attention that day. Of course, about halfway into your day, you go to reach for something in your pocket (your wallet, your cell phone etc.) only to discover that, OH NO, it's in the car. And now you have to speed back downstairs and out to your car, all the while praying to whatever you consider holy that your car hasn't been broken into and robbed.

It's an immensely tense and worrisome situation that brings out not only our own paranoia, but our worst beliefs in what humanity is capable of. However, it's important to remember that there's a lot of good people out there, and in the case of one homeless man from Glasgow, Scotland, that sense of good led to him guarding someone's car in a rain storm for two hours...

James John McGeown was passing by in the rain when he noticed that a parked car had not only left its window rolled down, but that there was a bag inside which contained £450 (about $600 USD at the time of publication). Seeing that its owner appeared to be nowhere in sight, McGeown decided to watch over the money out of fear of it being stolen.

After waiting in the rain for two hours, McGeown finally decided to take the money to the nearby Livingstone Brown solicitors, and then left a note in the car to inform its owner that the money was safe. Upon returning to his car, owner John McMonagle, who runs a local fish and chips shop, was touched by the homeless man's selfless act of kindness.

McMonagle immediately took to GoFundMe to raise money for not just the man who helped him, but all of the area's local homeless population. Speaking to The Independent, McMonagle said:

"I spoke to him and he's a lovely guy, we spoke at length. It's amazing, he had the £450 in his hand "“ I mean the car is worth £35,000 too. So he knows I'm not skint, and he walked across the road and handed to the lawyers because he was too cold. He could have walked away with it and could have bought himself a new pair of boots."

At the time of writing this article, the page has raised over £16,000 for the local homeless, with the first £5,000 going directly to John James McGeown.

Has anyone ever watched over your car when you weren't around?
