Woman Celebrates 21st Birthday With Miami Beach Police After Cell Phone is Stolen

A tourist who had her cell phone stolen while celebrating her 21st birthday in Miami Beach got a special treat from officers, who tracked down the phone then sang "Happy Birthday" to her.

Kourtney Chester was visiting from Alabama over the weekend when a thief swiped the phone.

Officers tracked it down in a matter of hours and when they met with Chester to return it, they serenaded her with the birthday song.

They even gave her a birthday cupcake with candles to blow out. Chester later posted video of the encounter to Facebook.

"Thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday. I had an amazing time in Miami! Although my phone got stolen, the Miami police department made sure my 21st birthday was memorable, and I could not thank them enough!!!!" she wrote in the Facebook post.
