This past weekend, police officers were called to check on a theft.
When they arrived, they found out that a 14-year-old boy had his birthday gift stolen — a lawn mower. The officers learned that this young man uses the mower to cut grass for elderly people in his neighborhood, and he does it all for free. That touched their hearts, and they wanted to help him.
So, a group of officers from the west side pitched in money. Officer Seibert went to Lowe’s and bought a brand-new lawn mower and a gas can for the boy.
The photo of the moment was shared on Evansville Watch, and that’s how many people heard the story. The Evansville Police Department has many kind officers who don’t look for attention, but sometimes their good deeds are too special not to share.
Thank you, Officer Seibert and Officer Siegel, for showing us the kind of caring people we have protecting our community.
