With all the bad in the news it is nice to see something good. And the guy that did the out bidding, kudos to him, what a great guy. I am surprised the news media even took the time to show this, no racism no one getting killed, nothing but good news, ooo wait it's FOX, OK now I understand.

The son of a Colorado deputy killed in the line of duty owns his father’s patrol car thanks to rancher with a heart of gold.
Tanner Brownlee was quickly outbid when his father’s beat-up Dodge Charger was put up for auction Wednesday in Greeley, Colo.
“I was sitting there. I had a set amount that I was gonna do,” Brownlee told Fox & Friends Saturday. “As soon as it went past that, I was…I just kind of gave up hope.”
Brownlee watched local rancher Steve Wells purchase the vehicle with a whopping $60,000 bid, five times the car’s book value.
Then Wells did something incredible, Denver ABC (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/sons-of-fallen-weld-county-sheriffs-deputy-outbid-at-auction-for-dads-squad-car-get-keys-anyway) reported.
Wells said, “Tanner, here’s your car,” and gave him the keys.

Look at the picture of that young man, one can still see the pain, redness, sadness and tears in those eyes for the father he will never see again on this earth. I see that I think of my father's death when I was only 15 years old and utterly it destroyed me.
Great to see the generosity of that fine honorable man to do such a fantastic and noble deed! --Tyr
