So OP: this happened 'recently'. I take it this respectable, upstanding, decent young man did indeed contact you the next day as you had requested (which phone did he use?), and ensured that he repayed you and your hotelier friend back?.......

the hotelier gave him the room for free. we gave him a fiver. it wasnt make believe. he was stranded on the streets for hours in the pouring rain. 30 miles from home. at 18 you dont always plan ahead. his plan was stay in his mates for the night, then the next day work out how to get home. not sure what happened to the bloke in the flat after he went to give statements to police station
