My Good Deed - Helped West Mids Police

[Banshee]

Well I was on the way to see my girlfriend on Friday night, the motorway started to build up 2 junctions before where I would usually get off so i decided to get off early which meant that I would have to go past a Ford I know of

Given it had been throwing it down I decided it might be worth a little detour for a few mins of fun

I arrived there and was met by this;



It turns out some silly old woman in her 60's had decided to tackle the 2 1/2 ft ford in her Ford KA

The KA was half under water, the woman had managed to get on the bonnet of her car and then decided to take the plunge and wade through the water and took refuge in a house the other side of the Ford where she had also rang for the Police

Upon arrival I immediately offered my services to pull the car out of the Ford however, I had forgot my Waders and had also took my wellies out of the car after shooting the other night

One of the officers decided to go above and beyond and got evidence bags out of his boot and put them over his shoes and legs as we duck taped them to his trousers and waded in with a broom to test the depth, fair play to the bloke!!!!

With my help I reversed in, he went in the boot of the KA grabbed the towing eye, attached it to the front of the KA and then attached the other closed loop around my tow bar, he wound the window down on the KA, removed the handbrake and the steering lock and steered the car out of the Ford as I towed it out



After I towed it out



Opening the doors




Always nice to be able to lend a helping hand to someone in need

The officers took my details and told me to expect a commendation in the post from the station commandant
