A man has received a helping hand from a stranger who saw that he was about to get a parking ticket.

Redditor Kidderboots posted the note left to him by his mystery friend. That person noticed that police officers were about to give him a ticket and pretended to be the owner of the inappropriately parked vehicle.

After offering to move the car, the police abandoned the thought of issuing a fee.

"[The person] saved me $65 (€49.5)," the user comments.

The note is simply signed “citizen of earth” and urges the driver to "pass on the karma." The Redditor will do just that – he plans to feed parking meters and help other motorists.

"I got a roll of quarters and I'm going to plug some meters from time to time," he says.
