Floridian Good Samaritan Makes Up For Stolen Bikes

When the bikes a couple bought for Christmas disappeared from their front lawn, they posted a sign to let the thieves know their disappointment.

"I hope U crooks enjoy our bikes U stole; Merry X-Mas", the sign by Dennis and Tamie Leporin read.

The next evening the couple heard a knock at their door and found an envelope with $200 inside. A pickup truck was driving away as they opened the door.

"Inside was a note that read, 'For every crook, there are 1,000 good people'", Dennis Leporin told a local paper.

"I thought it was awesome", he said.

Tamie said she and her husband were concentrating so much on the theft that they forgot about the true meaning of Christmas, until they were reminded by the kindness of strangers.

"We just wish there was some way we could thank them", she said.
