Within a six-month time period, an elderly Fort Worth, TX resident had been robbed five times in his home.
"They pushed me over and took money out of my pocket," John McAnally told Fox 4 News, later adding, "When you lose that much money, you know, on a fixed income, it hurts you."
The 86-year-old, who suffered a stroke leaving him with a slurred speech, couldn't do much to protect himself.
Thankfully, the Korean War veteran received some help from concerned neighbors who fixed what was broken and also tried to make his home a little safer.
"They can't do anything legal," neighbor Donald Green said of the robbers. "Just picking on a man that age who can't do anything.”
To McAnally's surprise, the Fort Worth police also stepped in to help him, much like the Cleveland cops who purchased a bike for a teenage church worker.
Similarly to a police department in Massachusetts that gives good-hearted residents a "Positive Ticket,” the Fort Worth police hands gift cards to those in need.
When they heard about McAnally's situation, they went to his house to him an $100 gift card. A photo (shown in the video below at the 1:40 mark) captured the heartwarming moment.
