Police Officers Answer Family’s Prayer, Gift Gator Tractor Toy to Boy After His Was Stolen
Arizona police officers surprised a 4-year-old boy after his battery-powered Gator tractor was stolen. The officers secured enough money to replace the boy’s stolen toy with a brand-new set of wheels and gifted it to him.
On April 8, dad Peter Philbrook shared his heartbreak on a Facebook group after his little boy Gerald had his tractor stolen from outside their Tempe apartment complex.
The tractor had been a fixer-upper for the father and son, who originally found the Gator propped up beside a garbage can.
