Good Samaritan and Employer Help Boy Whose New Bike was Stolen
By Good News Network Thursday, June 28, 2012
Two teens grabbed a brand new, beautiful BMX bike worth $400, leaving its owner, a 13-year-old boy, crying on the sidewalk. But when a passer-by stopped to see if he was okay, the boy's luck began to change.
The man followed the thieves and called police, but the bike was not recovered.
The concerned man also told his employer about the incident. After hearing his story, All-Lifts Inc., an industrial rigging company in Albany, sent him out with money to purchase a new bike.
The new bike was delivered to the boy Tuesday afternoon.

Testimonials
I realize how this event (the "Miracle on the Hudson") had touched people's lives, how ready they were for good news, how much they wanted to feel hopeful again. We've had a worldwide economic downturn, and people are confused, fearful and just so ready for good news. They want to feel reassured that all the things we value, all our ideals, still exist.
