In a recent Facebook post, Peter Philbrook wrote his 4-year-old son Gerald was pretty upset that his tractor had been stolen from their apartment complex, Good News Network reports.

We’re all a little deflated and a lot enraged by the news cycle over the last weeks and months, especially when it comes to the police in America. We could all use a little good news right now. Luckily, a group of Tempe police officers are here to provide it for us.
Phoenix’s Fox10 News reports that a kind group of Arizona police offers pooled their resources to replace a toy tractor for a 4-year-old boy after his had been stolen. The boy’s father had posted a desperate message to Facebook asking for help replacing the toy, which had become an important bonding tool between father and son.
