YouTuber Casey Neistat scratched a stranger's car in Los Angeles Monday morning while parking and did what any kind person would do — left a note with his phone number, offering to pay to fix the scratch.
The stranger texted Neistat later in the day, thanking him for the note but requesting that he put the money towards a donation to a local food bank instead of sending it to him.
Neistat followed up by making sure he didn't want him to send him money via Venmo, along with a screenshot of a receipt for a donation to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for $250.
The stranger responded to Neistat with a text that reads "Don't sweat it. Really appreciate you reaching out and donating! The world needs it right now "
Neistat moved from NYC to LA last year and has been vocal about the challenges that came with the move, and started off his series of tweets Monday with "been complaining about LA a lot, lemme share why I love LA."
He also shared how the accident happened in a follow up tweet, which won't shock many who know the popular vlogger and dad of three.
In typical Neistat humor, the donation was made in the honor "Mr. scratched car," an ode to the kind stranger.
