Not all cops are bad

Just returned from a trip to Mystery Bay for the school holiday's. Good weather, reasonable fishing, relaxing by the fire, etc.
As is the usual pratice with camping my son bought his pushbike with him. First night there, some body decided that they deserved to own it in preference to my son. Other things from other campers were also acquired.
We went into the local cop shop at the earliest opputunity to report the theft, then returned to camp. Not much else we could do.
Early the following morning, the police officer we reported to, showed up at camp on her way to work, with a spare bike she had from home, for my son to use while we were there.......Did not know us from Adam. Drop it off at the station when we leave.


We dropped it off when we left. We bought a box of chocolates and a thank you card, which my son was hoping to give to her, on return of the bike. Unfortunitly she was off duty for a few days. On leaving the station, the last thing my son said to the officers on duty, was that the chocolates were not for them, and they were to be locked away until the other was back at work. (different words but close enough). I could hear the officers laughing as we went back to the car...
