Mystery Admirer Thanks Naperville Police

NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville police have a secret admirer, as a mysterious subject has recently been slipping Starbucks gift cards and supportive messages onto department squad cards, police said Monday.

It's happened at least twice. Both times, cards containing $6 gift cards were discovered on cars in the downtown area, according to Naperville Police Cmdr. Lou Cammiso.

"We are grateful to our supportive community, who sent treats and meals during police week, shake our hands during special events, and send homemade pictures and cards."

"We do a difficult job, one that does not always receive praise," Cammiso said. "We strive to be a community partner, and we are thankful for each and every show of appreciation and support that lets us know that we are making strides toward that goal."
