For some people, helping the police means providing tips to help solve a crime or something similar. But sometimes, helping police can simply mean being a good person and helping your fellow Great Falls citizens.

"When he understood that our page is not monitored 24 hours a day, and the message likely would not be seen until the next day, he called the non-emergency dispatch line. Officer Ritton understood Nathaniel's concern and attempted to locate the owner of the vehicle."

According to the post, Great Falls police said they weren't able to track down the owner of the vehicle. As Nathaniel's post continued to draw more eyeballs, he eventually found a way to connect with the driver.

What he did next will absolutely warm your heart.
