Reading Police Officer Replaces Couple's Stolen Flag

READING (CBS) -- When a Reading police officer heard a couple's American flag was stolen from their home again, she took matters into her own hands.

The officer had recently responded to the home where the flag was reported stolen. The couple, who are longtime residents of the town, told the officer this was the second time their flag was stolen, but they didn't want to "bother" police.

According to Reading Police, when the officer heard the couple would not replace the flag because it was too expensive, she headed to a nearby Home Depot to buy one for them.

But when the store manager heard the story, he decided instead to donate the flag to the couple.

The officer delivered the flag to the home, "compliments of Home Depot Reading."
