Community steps in after boy's cooler theft
Days after Greshaun Daberezil's cooler was stolen, strangers stepped in to replace it.
ORLANDO, Fla. - FOX 35 News has an exciting update to bring you about a story we first reported on Monday, July 10.
The story was about Greshaun Daberezil. The young boy had been filling up a cooler with cold bottles of water, then setting it outside for people to grab a bottle for free.
But last Friday, someone stole it.
"Well, we weren’t happy about that," said FOX 35 viewer Danny Adams. "So we done something about it."
Danny and Diane Adams couple and another man who asked not to be identified all decided, they weren’t going to let a good deed be punished.

Boy's act of kindness ends in theft
They say no good deed goes unpunished, but that’s not a lesson we all expect to teach a 10-year-old child. Unfortunately, it’s one Greshaun Daprezil was confronted with on Friday when someone stole a cooler he had placed outside and filled with water bottles for the community to take.

"I said, this kid is trying to do the right thing as he obviously was brought up to do. And I’m going to help him," said Adams.
Adams also brought Daberezil a bike lock so he can ward off future would-be thieves.
"Now I can protect my cooler!" Daberezil exclaimed when he saw the bike lock.
He already has a plan for how to use both coolers, too.
"I’m gonna spread it out by putting one over there and one all the way down over there. Not all the way down, but near those trees so even if they don’t see it, they’ll see another one here," he explained.
