Kamberis wasn't hurt, and the good Samaritan drove him home. Kamberis told WMUR-TV, "I had my credit card, my license, my grandchildren's pictures in there and all sorts of stuff it would have been wicked for me to replace."Police are still searching for the man and are circulating a surveillance photo.
