Most people would be furious if they thought they had seen their car getting stolen.
So all credit to this Aussie legend, whose reaction to discovering a man with a Down Syndrome inside his parked truck will warm your heart.
Jimbo, who runs the Gary the Goat YouTube page, is famous for travelling around Australia doing comedy shows and live streaming video with his 7-year-old pet goat.
‘So I was just in the shop and I found some guy trying to steal me car,’ he explained, before going into the car park and approaching his truck.

Ryan climbed into the driver’s seat of Jimbo’ truck, even though he doesn’t know how to drive
‘How you goin’ mate, you alright?’ he asks Ryan, who is sitting in the driver’s seat as Gary relaxes next to the wheel. ‘What are you doing?’
Jimbo works out that Ryan wasn’t really trying to steal his truck – he just wanted to go for a drive around Noosa.
‘Well mate, if you can work out how to start this car, you can drive it, okay?’ says Jim kindly, which makes Ryan’s face light up with excitement as he smiles and nods.
When he asks if Ryan has ever driven a car before, he replies that he hasn’t.
‘Well, would you like the rive this one? Righto mate,’ Jim says, before opening the door to the truck and handing him the keys.
