Police Officer "Matt" Answers Call to Kindness, Replaces Gary Jones, a Blind Man's iPhone Stolen by a Feral Negro

A blind man recently robbed of his iPhone in Joliet wasn't without one for long, thanks to a south suburban police officer.

Wishing to be known only as "Matt," the officer was frustrated when he read Gary Jones' story on Patch.

"This guy wakes up every single day without the gift of vision," Matt said, "yet he still goes out, and tries to be a good person. And someone does this to him."

Jones, 49, told Patch he was waiting at the Joliet Union Station to catch a train into Chicago when a man started talking to him. He was listening to music, and as the train pulled into the station and drowned out the music on his phone, the man took off with it. Jones said he relies on his iPhone to help him throughout the day, especially Siri, the iPhone's virtual assistant who can be summoned with a push of a button or a voice command.
