It is called being selfless. Dr. Allen has a great passion for his fellow Bahamians no matter what they do. He knows there is a power greater than himself and wanted to share God with the thieves and pray for them. God can change the lost, broken hearted, thieves, etc. even when most people won't give them a second chance. You're right that most of us would not do what Dr. Allen did - that's what makes this a special news story to learn from and apply to our own lives, and one of the things that makes Dr. Allen special.
