Denis and Tamie Leporin had purchased new bikes for themselves an their youngest son. The bikes were a Christmas gift, but they unfortunately didn’t get much use. The bikes were stolen from their front lawn.

The irate Pensacola Florida couple posted a sign on their front lawn to let their neighbors and the thieves know how disappointed they were:

“I hope U crooks enjoy our bikes U stole; Merry X-Mas,” the sign read.

A day later the couple heard a knock on their door and when they opened the door they noticed a pick up truck driving away. An envelope containing $200 was left on their steps.
Inside the envelope was also a note that read “For every crook, there are 1,000 good people’,” Dennis Leporin told the Pensacola News Journal.

“I thought it was awesome. We moved here from St. Louis, and folks just don’t do that in St. Louis,” he said.

Tamie Leporin 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.
