I don't know how you can contribute money without trusting someone. Even if you send it to the hospital (Karl Heussner?) you're depending on the honesty of the staff there. I know that the money Peter Lawrence (pedro1) will take with him tomorrow will get to its intended destination. Furthermore, I know that the money I gave to Steve earlier will get to Peter. That's because I know both of them.

People are ultimately either honest (even when there's no-one around to check) or dishonest (will steal when they get an opportunity). Peter & Steve are some of the good guys.

I'm hoping we will some time see evidence that the person who caused the accident has contributed generously, even if it was due to mechanical malfunction and not carelessness.
