So, I've been working for a sweet elderly lady on and off since January. she is 87 and bright as a button. I've installed a new bathroom, kitchen and flooring.
She told me yesterday of one relative living in Australia who had past away. apone this new she decided to contact another relative living in western Australia. on trying to phone her (she is 90) she found the phone had been discontinued. so, she decided to phone the western Australian police. calling from here in the UK she had a kind and thoughtful conversation with a police officer.
A couple of days later she received a call from the 90 year old relative saying she was now in a elderly home. The police had taken the time to try and find her and had succeeded

They were under no obligation to do this deed but they did and well done to them.

Have you ever had,heard of or come across such a heart warming act?

That is the police man job to do.

Nice one, not all cops are B's..

Thanks for sharing that story Mikey... it's always nice to hear when someone does a good deed.

Yea that's nice.

Reminds me of simpler times, when when we used to have a local bobby on a bicycle who would potter around the village and protect someones apple tree from unwanted attentions. He used to lurk in the shadows like Dixon of dock Green, and try and catch us in the act :)
Most people liked him ( not all ) But he would go out of his way to help people.
That's what police were like then.

Lovely heart warming story.

Omg, Dixon of dock green! That brings back memories! Just like doctor finnlys case book!
Thanks.

We have our communal life here. We do that sort of thing. It's not only the police obligation to do that, but also the individuals. I think, it is also because we are not secretive. It's my personal view :)

Have a good day, everyone :)

Oh wow, that is beautiful! At least these 2 oldies have had contact, and can get in touch again if they want during the time they have left.
Bless the police for helping with that :)

The police do that automatically here in the states,
tis called a 'welfare check'.

Nice to be appreciated though ;-)

Over here too, but that's within the same country.

I just thought it was nice being over 12,000 Miles Away And She Hadn't Been Declared Missing, Maybe She Was Just Having sex With a Robot
Anyway, the last bit of my story asked for similar events that you know of

Yes, that was nice... as was your wanting to share the story.

Acts of kindness don't have to be justified or explained... being appreciated would be nice. And it doesn't matter if it's part of their job or not. I believe what matters is that there was kindness and empathy involved while doing one's job.

You'll never regret being kind.

I made a stop at a local store I got to regularly to get a drink for work. One night there was this care parked with two younger kids (18/early 20s). It looked a bit suspicious to me and from their movements, looked like maybe doing drugs or something. I go about my business, as I get out of my car, the passenger in the parked car yells "Excuse me, sir", I turned around because he was respectful, I was expecting him to ask for money or something, which I wasn't going to give, instead he asked if I knew how to take a fish hook out of ones finger. The driver had a fish hook stuck in his finger. Apparently they were out fishing. Seeing that the kids did not appear to be doing anything wrong, and simply needed some help, I went in to the store and bought a first aide kit for them to pull the hook out and bandage his finger.

Nice, that's how it should be, but as you say, at first you never know and I think that's why so many would walk on by
