Wounded veterans targeted by heartless thieves have found a friend in Curt Shilling.
Conservative icon and former Boston Red Sox pitcher is offering an award to help find 16 custom-made bikes that were stolen from wounded veterans in San Diego Tuesday.
http://t.co/Mscse6hRqR I’m offering a reward for ANYONE that finds and returns these. It will be worth the effort

Shilling offered his generous reward in a tweet that said he would include “airfare, hotel, and tickets to ANY game in the USA, for two.” And that doesn’t mean any baseball game, Schilling stressed. It means any game.
The despicable theft took place at the Naval Medical Center SanDiego and enraged retired Marine Corps Sgt. Jamie Rihn.
“It may seem like a bicycle to most, but it’s not us. It’s our way of life,” Rihn told Fox 5 San Diego.
“I was really, really angry that someone stole from our warriors – our healing warriors that have given 110 percent already.” Rihn said.
“Shame on you! Shame! I mean these aren’t just bicycles for us. These are our way of life.”
The critical need for the specially adapted bikes that are owned by the non-profit group Ride 2 Recovery is precisely why Shilling stepped in to do what he can to help find them. And it looks like he’s getting plenty of support.
Airfare, hotel, tickets to ANY game in the USA, ANY GAME, for 2, if you get these warriors their bikes back.

@gehrig38 @fox5sandiego This makes me sick. Some people are the worst. I very much hope they are found and these people are held accountable

@GeoffRupp @AndiMann I get it, but lets focus on reaching out to people we may know in and around the area, get eyes out looking for them

Shilling didn’t let the anger or the accolades for his good works take over. Instead, he remained focused on spreading the word.
FWIW if you did this, and return them, I don’t care, just want them all back. These men deserve FAR more and better http://t.co/Mscse60gzj

http://t.co/Mscse60gzj let’s focus on working to get these returned, not on what we think of the folks that did it.All comes out in the wash
— Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) April 2, 2015
If it was NOT clear earlier, by ANY GAME I mean ANY GAME, ANY SPORT, in the US.
— Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) April 2, 2015
So rarely are we offered a chance to really SERVE them, let’s do this http://t.co/Mscse60gzj #returnthem

Once again, Shilling proves he’s class act through and through.
