They Burned His Car for a Scratch—But Had No Clue Who He Really Was

Transcript

00:00A well-meaning man tried to help pull a car out of the mud, but he didn't expect to be accused of

00:04damaging the vehicle. Even though it was just a minor scratch, the couple demanded $40,000 in

00:09compensation. The man tried to explain what had happened, but upon seeing a patrol car nearby,

00:14he decided to give them all the cash he had, thinking it was better to lose money than get

00:18into trouble. However, the couple wasn't satisfied and claimed it wasn't enough. Then, they stole a

00:23gold bracelet from his car and, before leaving, threw a lit lighter into his vehicle, setting it

00:28on fire. What they didn't know was that they had just messed with someone extremely dangerous.

00:33The man was actually a wanted criminal who had recently robbed a jewelry store. He had split up

00:37from his accomplice during the escape, and along the way, he ran into this couple, who flagged him

00:42down asking for help. He looked them over and agreed to assist, warning that any risk would be

00:47their responsibility. The woman immediately refused, saying their car was brand new and expensive. The

00:52man didn't argue and told them to find someone else, but the boyfriend pleaded, saying they had

00:56been stuck for hours and their families were waiting at home. Plus, they had no satellite

01:01signal. Feeling some pity, the man went down to inspect the car and promised to try. During the

01:06towing attempt, he accelerated to pull the car out, but the boyfriend shifted into the wrong gear.

01:11The tow rope snapped violently, striking the front of their vehicle. The woman immediately got out and

01:16shoved the man. He reminded her he had warned them of the risks, but she denied hearing anything and

01:20accused him of making excuses to avoid pain. Not wanting to argue, he tried to leave, but the couple

01:26blocked his way. Frustrated, the man was about to lash out, but a patrol car passed by, so he held back

01:32and asked them to be reasonable. The woman mocked him, saying he was just scared of being held

01:36accountable. Realizing it was useless to keep talking, the man handed over all his cash, but they still

01:41weren't satisfied and threw his wallet to the ground. When he bent to pick it up, they blocked him and

01:46demanded more money. Meanwhile, the woman entered his car looking for valuables and found a gold

01:51bracelet. Excited, she grabbed his keys to prevent him from stopping her, then ran back to her boyfriend

01:57to show him. The man tried to retrieve the bracelet. It had belonged to his mother, but they shoved him

02:02roughly. He considered letting it go and bent down to pick up his wallet again, but the couple suddenly

02:06drove toward him, attempting to run him over. Luckily, he dodged in time, but as they passed, they threw a lit

02:13lighter into his car, which was filled with gasoline-soaked straw. It burst into flames instantly.

02:18He jumped out just in time to save his life, watching his only means of transport go up in flames.

02:24Enraged, he called his accomplice to come get him. Meanwhile, the couple, laughing in their car,

02:29had no idea they were about to face serious consequences. Soon, the man's accomplice arrived

02:34and told him that there were no exits on that road. The couple couldn't escape. The man swore they would

02:38regret ever crossing his path. As the couple tried to flee, they got stuck in another sandpit. They got

02:44out to try to free the car, but the woman suddenly remembered the satellite phone had been left in

02:48the man's car. With no way to call for help, they looked around in desperation, just as a car approached.

02:54They ran to ask for help, not expecting it to be the very man they had betrayed.
