In Roseville, Michigan, a young boy named Michael Curmi was riding his scooter near the local high school when a stranger asked to try it. Michael, being kind and trusting, agreed — but sadly, the person took off with the scooter and never came back. Michael had to walk all the way home, not just tired but heartbroken, because the scooter meant so much to him, especially during hard times for his family.

When Roseville police officers Sgt. Eric Saddler and Sgt. Anthony Coraci heard what had happened, they were moved by Michael’s story. They learned how important that scooter was to him, and they decided to go above and beyond their duty. They didn’t just write a report or offer sympathy — they chose to take action.

A few days later, the officers arrived at Michael’s home with a group of fellow officers — and a brand-new scooter. The moment Michael saw it, his face lit up with joy. He smiled, full of gratitude, and called the officers his heroes. What started as a painful moment became a memory he’ll never forget, all because of one thoughtful act.

Michael’s story is a beautiful reminder that even a small act of kindness can change a life. These officers didn’t just restore a scooter — they restored hope. In a world that can often feel unfair, their compassion showed that there are still good people ready to help when it matters most.
