WAKEFIELD, Mass., Posted 7:35 p.m. EST December 8, 2000 -- A real-life Grinch didn't get his way after stealing a scooter from a Wakefield boy.
NewsCenter 5's Jim Boyd reports that 11-year-old Cameron Wulff is again delivering newspapers on scooter after someone came to his home and stole the scooter he saved for months to buy.
"I was sad and angry," Wulff said.
"I was just so angry to think that someone would steal something from a kid," his mother, June Wulff said.
The scooter was well hidden on the porch, as Cameron put it under some cardboard and stacked some golf clubs next to it. His mother was so angry at the theft that she worte a sarcastic letter to the local newspaper.
"I put something in the paper that said, 'Whoever took my son's scooter, you forgot the shoulder strap, because that was in the house,'" she said
Some kindhearted person read the article and responded.
"The next day, I was out and Cameron was home and the doorbell rang, and as he got to the door, he saw a car pull away, and when he looked down, on the porch was a new scooter in a box," June Wulff said.
A second scooter arrived some time later.
"I was happy and surprised that someone would give me money and put it into a scooter just for someone who had lost it earlier," Cameron said.
Cameron said that he will donate the second scooter to charity.
