A boy who had a bike given to him by his late father stolen by thieves saw it had been returned.

    Nine-year-old James Brewster, from County Armagh, Northern Ireland, was left devastated after the silver bike was stolen just days before the anniversary of his father's death.

    His mother Una put out an emotional appeal on Facebook for the bike, which was the last gift James received from his father, to be returned.

    The bike was returned three days later to the delight of James and his mother.

    In a video posted online, a shocked-looking James can be seen returning home to see the bike in his garden.

    He told The Belfast Telegraph, "I went into the garden without knowing my mom had seen the bike. I actually looked at the bike and didn't think it was really there.

    "I thought I was dreaming. It's the last thing my dad gave to me as a present."

    Una wrote on Facebook, "An amazing thing happened today...a miracle in Pinebank!!!! I was leaving the house to do school run and someone had returned James's bike.

    "What a beautiful ending to this story and one I had faith was going to happen, the reason being the incredible outpouring of concern and help from so many people to have it returned.

    "From all those friends and strangers who shared my post, those who searched for it, to all who offered to replace the bike ... you were unbelievable!!!

    "And lastly to whoever returned the bike, you have done an amazing thing!! An incredible thing!!!! ... and made James one very happy boy. Thankyou ....x"

    In an emotional appeal, she previously wrote, "I am appealing to the person who ... saw the opportunity to steal my son's silver bike, to please return it.

    "Let me put you in the picture ... you have caused more heartache to a child who tomorrow will be remembering the nightmare which unfolded one year ago to the day ... one that NO child should ever experience, that of losing his father .... and to make it worse this bike was a gift from his daddy.

    "If you have a heart at all return the bike please and nothing more said ..."
