Kindhearted Officer buys little girl a brand new bike after hers was stolen

April 24, 2013

California police officer, Michael Kohr, used his own money to purchase a brand new bicycle for a little girl who had hers stolen.

Nina Sanchez called the police department after finding out her jogging stroller and daughter's new bicycle had been stolen. Instead of just visiting to fill out a routine police report, Officer Kohr showed up with a brand new bike.

Nina posted the picture of her daughter with Officer Kohr on facebook with the following message:

"Yesterday morning on my way to take my daughter Bella on a bike ride, to our dismay we realized her cherished Minnie Mouse bike that Santa brought her had been stolen, along with our jogging stroller. To say we were heartbroken is an understatement. Through many tears and reassuring hugs I managed to call in a police report. This afternoon, I received a call from Officer Kohr that he was on his way with a brand new Princess bike. He not only surprised her with a bike that is her favorite color featuring her favorite princess, he took the time to teach her how to ride it. This is kindness and selflessness at its finest. This officer went well above his call of duty and took the time to make a little girl's day. I cannot fully express how grateful I am. He has left such an impression in our hearts, and I am thoroughly impressed with his generosity. Thank you once again Officer Kohr."

The post has gone viral with thousands of likes and shares. The Oxnard Police Department responded to Nina's thanful message to Officer Kohr.

"We don't get emails/messages like this directly from community members often. Thank you, Nina Sanchez for sharing! And, thank you Officer Michael Kohr for taking exceptional service to heart and going above and beyond!"
