The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

The unknown saintI once lost my wallet in a 'dodgy' part of Berlin, shortly before Christmas.
I had just withdrawn €300 from the Bank to buy Christmas presents and it was in the wallet, along with my credit cards, driving license, ID card and many other membership cards - stuff that costs so much time and money to replace.
After immediately cancelling my cards, I searched for 2 weeks at home, retraced my steps several times but finally admitted defeat.
A few days later I received a letter from the Central Lost Property office in Berlin - they had my wallet. I rushed over to collect it expecting at least my cards and licenses to be in there, but to my utter astonishment, everything was in there including the money. They weren't allowed to give me the name and address of the finder but they told me the finder had found it on the street.
I was gobsmacked and it rebuilt my faith in human nature and made me rethink what I would do if I found a wallet with a largish amount of money in it.
