Having a car is essential for someone who’s in the delivery business. That’s why when Rayden Jones, a pizza delivery guy, found out that his car was stolen, he was devastated and worried about how he’ll manage without a car.

Fortunately, a stranger with a kind heart decided to step in.

Jones works for Happy’s Pizza in Port Huron, Michigan, and depends heavily on his car for handling pizza deliveries around the locality. On the day his car was stolen, Jones says that he only stopped by a school to bring some pizza and stayed in the building for about a couple of minutes or so.

When he went out, he was surprised to discover that his car was already gone. It was taken by a woman with mental health issues and the car was ultimately crashed by the said hijacker, leaving Jones with no means of transportation at all.

On that same day, a man named Kevin Lindke placed a call on 911 after he came across a swerving car that took the wrong lane on the freeway. He was quite concerned and decided to chase the car as he kept the police dispatchers on the line.

Eventually, the hijacker collided onto another car and ended up abandoning the vehicle on the site of the accident. The hijacker tried to run away but Lindke did not stop chasing her until he finally caught up to the woman. He successfully convinced her to stop and wait for the police.

Later on that day, Lindke found out that the hijacked car belonged to a pizza delivery man. He also heard about how Jones only depended on the crashed car as his mode of transportation in his job.

Lindke was deeply moved by the guy’s story that he decided to an act of kindness that Jones will never forget in his life.

Instead of selling his mini-van as Lindke originally planned, the stranger decided to just give it away to Jones. It was undoubtedly a kind and generous gesture that nobody saw coming!

As if his pursuit of the hijacker was not enough, this good Samaritan even gave his car away to help someone in need. He’s definitely an incredible fellow and someone that we could all learn from. His generosity and kind heart are nothing short of inspiring.

Meanwhile, Jones could hardly believe it when he learned about Lindke’s act of kindness. He was surprised and deeply moved by the man’s generosity. Who does such a thing for someone he does not even know? Jones was beyond grateful that Lindke was the person who was there to help him and that he cared for him who is practically a stranger.

“I’m not going to lie, I about burst into tears because who does that?” Jones told WDIV. “It’s a godsend—that this man, out of nowhere, who I’ve never met, would do this. It’s mind-blowing.”

Without a doubt, Kevin Lindke is nothing but a kind-hearted man. His selfless deed has resonated not just in Rayden Jones’ life, but in all the lives of everyone who has known this amazing story.
