No good deed goes unpunished, and Colorado resident Jesus Rivera understands this better than most after becoming a car-theft victim, a crime which left him without a truck (http://autos.aol.com/trucks/) and continuing legal troubles.

Rivera witnessed an accident over a year ago while driving near Denver. A man had rolled his car on an interstate and Rivera immediately pulled over to help. After saving the bloodied driver from the upside-down car, Rivera went to find the children the man said were in the back seat. But there were no children in the car, and when Rivera turned around, the driver he just rescued had stolen his truck.

"I don't regret it. I would do it again," Rivera told Colorado 9 News (http://www.9news.com/news/article/336843/339/Good-Samaritan-faces-fines-for-stolen-car).

there is a happy ending to the story on the linked page though.

Marcus. Just wondering about the GOOD SAMARITAN LAWS that are designed to protect people who render help.

Good to see the State Police had records to prove his innocence.

And we wonder why people are so afraid to actually stop to help others????
