A deputy in Utah went above and beyond when he purchased a new skateboard for a girl who had hers stolen.

Kaylie English, who had filed a theft report with the Utah County Sheriff's Office, had no idea that Deputy John Thomas was doing research on the DGK skateboard and called the store where she had bought it to make arrangements to by a new one that was almost a perfect match, according to KSL-TV.

The ninth-grader was in her room when three deputies showed up on her doorstep Wednesday and began asking her questions about the skateboard. That when Thomas came through the door holding the new board.

"Right when I saw it I just stopped talking and I was just speechless and smiling," she told the news station.

The deputies presented her with the board and told her she just needs to make sure she does her homework and remembers that officers can be nice.
