Wasn't sure where to put this (Religion/Ethics?) so mods feel free to move it wherever it fits best.
Auction for fallen deputy's car ends in tears
The son of a Colorado sheriff's deputy killed on the job went to a department auction, hoping to score the winning bid on their father's patrol car.
Though the 2010 Dodge Charger had more than 100,000 miles on it and was valued at only $12,500, the bidding went far past that amount.
But Tanner Brownlee topped out at $50,000, the highest he could go to get his dad's beloved cruiser.
Local rancher Steve Wells won the auction with a $60,000 bid Wednesday night. After being handed the keys, he walked straight over to Brownlee and said "Tanner, here's your car."
Tanner was stunned. And then he was in tears.
"Thank you, man," he said softly as he embraced the stranger, KUSA-TV reported.
