Two Good Samaritans Had Car Stolen While Helping Motorist

A Good Samaritan had her car stolen while stopping to help a stranded motorist in Milwaukee, and now she and her boyfriend believe they were set up. Debra Baldwin said that she and Jim Hartman were going out to dinner October fourth when they stopped on a street west of downtown Milwaukee to help a woman who was yelling into her phone that her car was on fire. Baldwin says she and Hartman stepped out of their vehicle — and within 30 seconds, a thief got in and drove it away, and police are still looking for the suspects. Baldwin said she called 9-1-1, but nobody came so they took a taxi to the police headquarters. She says the woman with the emergency didn’t go with them — and the phone number she gave them turned out to be somebody in Utah. In Baldwin’s words, “You cannot trust anybody anymore.”
