Yep, pretty hard to top that.
The story I like was the guy in a NYC shop (bike messenger IIRC?) who had crashed his bike, talking to the manager about how much it was going to cost to get it repaired. Unbeknownst to the rider, Robin Williams was in the shop and overheard the convo.
Guy came back in to pick up his bike, and asked 'How much' and was told that Robin had picked up the tab for him...
My personal one is a little smaller--Craigslist 'Free Section' had a guy giving away some bike stuff--I picked up a free pair of mtb disk wheels, a restorable MtB frame and a couple of other things, including a cool old metal tool box that I've been storing one of my corded drills in to haul back and forth to job sites. The guy was packing up his residence and leaving the state...
