A Florida man was recently given an amazing gift from some local police officers. This 80-year-old would never have guessed just how thoughtful some officers could be after he found himself the victim of a terrible robbery.

Ken Cody is a field training officer for the Cape Coral Police in Florida. Cody, along with his trainee Guang Sing, responded to an incoming report concerning a man and a stolen bicycle in front of a local Winn Dixie. It was here that they met Robert, the man the bike had been stolen from.

They quickly learned that the bicycle was his only means of transportation. After learning this, the two officers knew that they had to do something for the elderly man.

They were worried about how he would get around and run errands without his bike, so they decided they had to help.

The police officers immediately drove to the nearest Walmart after filing the police report. They wanted Robert to have something to run errands with while they looked for his stolen bike. They knew that it could take days or weeks to find it, if ever! After purchasing the bicycle, they took it to Robert’s house personally to surprise him.

Luckily, one officer was wearing a body camera at the time which captured the sweet moment the pair handed over their gift. The video has since gone viral after being uploaded to social media.

Upon seeing the new bike, Robert couldn’t believe that the officers could be so kind.

He asked them if the bike was new, to which they responded that it was. Before they left, they helped Robert adjust the seat and made sure that he was comfortable on it. They also pointed out a few features the bike had, such as a cup holder and a basket. The officers really wanted to make sure that Robert was happy.

The two police officers also included another gift that they thought would be helpful. That was a bike lock. They were eager to ensure that this new bicycle wouldn’t get stolen the way that the last one did.
