Today's heartwarming tale comes from Roseville, Michigan.
In a touching act of kindness, the Roseville Police Department went the extra mile to bring joy to a resident named Michael, who had recently fallen victim to theft.
Roseville Police Department - Michigan
A few weeks ago, Michael, aged 32, was enjoying a ride on his beloved scooter near the high school when he generously allowed someone else to test it out. However, to his dismay, the individual took advantage of his kindness and failed to return the scooter, leaving Michael devastated.
Detective Sergeant Saddler took charge of the investigation and swiftly learned about Michael's genuine character. Touched by his story, Saddler and his partner, Detective Sergeant Coraci, decided to use their own money to purchase Michael the same scooter. When Chief Berlin learned of their plan, he decided the department would cover the cost of the new scooter.
On Wednesday, the Roseville Police Department had the privilege of meeting Michael in person to deliver the surprise. Overwhelmed with emotion, Michael expressed his heartfelt gratitude upon hearing the news. After taking a few spins on his new scooter, Michael shared how this unexpected gesture had turned his challenging year around.
"My eyes were like wow," Michael told CBS News. "It's like a guardian angel came down and blessed me."
It was a particularly poignant moment as Michael shared that the day of the surprise happened to be his birthday.
"After taking a few spins on his new scooter, Michael said how he was kind of having a rough year and that yesterday was his birthday," the department shared. "But.. he said after today, he thinks his year is only going to get better!"
