A shocking incident in 1986 left the writer shaken, but also with a newfound appreciation for humanity. While walking to fetch her dog from the back seat of a parked car, she was suddenly confronted by a group of youths who had been lurking in the shadows. One of them attempted to snatch her purse, and despite being physically overpowered, she found herself caught in a moment of 'the ocean', where time seemed to slow down and her body reacted instinctively.
In an instant, however, a group of rough-looking youths appeared from behind the supermarket, sending the would-be thief running. To her astonishment, they surrounded her, offering help and support instead of hostility. They accompanied her as she retrieved her dog and led her to the police station to report the incident.
The writer has since come to realize that sometimes appearances can be deceiving, and that individuals may possess hidden depths of kindness and compassion. Her experience serves as a poignant reminder of the power of human connection and the importance of not judging others based on their appearance. She credits the youths who intervened with saving her from what could have been a traumatic event, and hopes to repay their kindness by sharing their story with others.
The writer's encounter has left an indelible mark on her faith in humanity, and serves as a powerful testament to the transformative impact of acts of kindness and bravery. In an era where such incidents often receive little attention, it is refreshing to hear stories like hers, which highlight the potential for good that exists within every individual.

. You know, I was just thinking, how often do we judge others based on their appearance and end up missing out on the awesomeness they can offer? It's crazy how one act of kindness can completely flip someone's perspective around 
. And yeah, let's give it to these youths who risked their own safety to save her - they're true heroes 
!
. People should be treated with compassion, even if they don't look innocent 
. You can judge a book by its cover, but you can't trust your instincts completely 
.
I can imagine how scary she must've felt, but like what happened next is just amazing 
those rough-looking youths who appeared out of nowhere and saved her? what a testament to human goodness 
I wish we could hear more stories like this, they're super inspiring! 
I mean, can you even imagine what could've happened if those youths hadn't shown up? But instead, they stepped in and turned a potentially super scary situation into this amazing story of kindness. It's wild how our initial assumptions about people based on their appearance can be totally off, right? 
. This woman's encounter with those rough-looking youths who ended up being total angels is literally giving me life 
. I love how this woman is now paying it forward and sharing their story with others – it's like a big ol' circle of kindness 
!
. Those guys who intervened in her life must've been having a really tough day or something, but they chose to be heroes instead of victims themselves 
This story needs to get told more often, shows us that even in dark times, there's always hope for good to come from unexpected places 
. That's a wild story though! 
It seems pretty lame on their part, but I guess we should feel bad for them too, right? 
I wonder if they were just having a rough day or something. And what's even crazier is that the person trying to steal from her had some friends who stepped in and saved the day! 
Like, why would they do that? Did they know her? Was it a prank gone wrong? I'm curious about their motivations... 
... newsflash: if a 1986 carjacking incident makes you suddenly optimistic about humanity, maybe your glass is half empty 
. I mean, yeah sure, the good Samaritans showed up when it counted, but they could've just been opportunistic too... what if they were just trying to save face or get attention for themselves? 
Still, can't deny it's a nice story and all, but let's not get carried away here 
.
. And it's crazy how our minds can be so quick to judge someone just by how they look
