Two young women paid tribute to an act of kindness from a police officer on social media, and the story has since gone viral. 

Taylor Ronan, 21, had driven hours away from home with her friend, Hayley, to pick up her sister at the train station, but there was a delay due to a fire on the train, and then Ronan’s wallet was stolen from her car. 

In a panic, Ronan called the Old Orchard Beach PD, and Sargent Gerard Hamilton arrived on the scene to help her find her wallet. 

The officer then asked Ronan how much gas she had left (not very much), then offered to pay for her to fill up her tank.
