VACAVILLE, Calif. (KGO) — You’ve heard about acts of kindness among strangers, but here’s one that breaks the mold.
The center divide of Interstate 80 is an unforgiving no-man’s land populated by the broken down or the desperate.
Last Saturday night, John Badial of Vacaville fit the latter category. “All my money for the week, all the money we had was in the center divide,” Badial said.
He’s an auto mechanic and father of two who made the common mistake of leaving his wallet on the roof of the family car. “I went right over the bump and I happened to glance in my rear-view mirror and saw everything fall out of my wallet and hit the ground,” Badial said.
