San Diego homeless man borrows construction equipment to help motorist.

Okay, I fixed the headline.

https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/homeless-man-arrested-for-stealing-excavator-to-help-man-change-tire/509-c5c857d4-45d9-4125-b944-1ae2e720c1e8

Hoping the guy gets good karma points in court.
