“The world needs more kindness, especially to police officers right now,” Richards said. “It’s tough to be kind, but when you see something that has some sentimental value to someone, and God knows it’s a dollar or, worth a dollar or $1,000 dollars, you know it’s meant to be for someone else. You just want to be kind and find the owner, right?”
