This is a nice story but I wanted to comment on the botched journalist approach which taints a distracting overtone to the story. This should have been simply a story about a random act of generosity without dancing around with overtones of the socio-economics possessed of the Samaritan. His employer as MS and his work title have nothing to do with his act of kindness. It cheapens a gracious act as tuppence. The reporter should not have written this and the Samaritan should have withheld this information.

David Mamet recounts advice given to him by his father to never ask a person what he does for a living. In essence, to impart that what a person does for a living is not who a person is.

Shame that many want nothing more than to beat their chest.

Very cool! Pass on the kindness makes the world a better place.

Good advice. The fact that he made her pledge to buy a bike for a victim of theft is the story here.

employs 57,000. I think a corporate value should be that anyone over $250,000 should buy a new bike for someone whose bike was stolen...each year. Wonder how many happy people that would create on both sides of the equation?

Morgan Stanley sponsors a Masters racing team. That idea could be in their wheelhouse.
