You could lose everything you had trying to be a good Samaritan. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

Same here.
Back in the day I drove trucks all over Europe.
Picked up hitchhikers, stopped to change wheels for car drivers, and other truckers never gave it a thought.
These days I don't even let fresh air in the car!!
