[Porsche-O-Phile]

Most of us are only a few missed paychecks away from a similar fate. I'd extend them the benefit of the doubt until being given a reason to not. Most likely they're honest people that have fallen upon hard times. In such a case I'd (depending on circumstances, and how the conversation went, etc.) offer them some help - food, blankets, a shower (as has been suggested), maybe a tank of gas. Never money. If OTOH they end up being hippie drug addicts or coming off as drifters/gypsies or whatever I'd report it immediately. That's got trouble written all over it.

We're going to see things like this start happening more and more to our fellow citizens in the months and years to come I'm afraid, and it's important to remember firstly that the true measure of ourselves and our own character is in how we deal with those who we find "undesirable" and secondly that the real enemies out there are the big corporations, the power elite that run government and radical extremists (i.e. people that want to either enslave or kill us all) - not one another. Help is seldom a bad course of action for our fellow man.
