Do you believe in Karma?

These two events are probably totally unrelated but somehow I think they are.

Yesterday, I almost lost my 190d2.5 turbo in a flood (read about it in the diesel section).

The day before, my wife and I did something nice yet anonymous for a needy person. This person is a single mom. she is pregnant and has a 2 year old kid. She is employed (works at the pet salon at Petsmart) but she is so broke that she has listed her belongings on Craigslist for money. She even has her wedding dress for sale.

We somehow got a list of her 'needs' and filled part of it. We got her the biggest box of size 2 pamper and wipes, we have also ordered a breast pump which she will need soon. We did this anonymously. We have never met her. We bought it on Amazon and just had it sent.

Back to the car...bottom line. Had I gotten there 5 minutes later, the car would have been totalled (or at least a muddy mess).

Probably very independent events, but probably not..... who knows!
