After his story aired, it was posted on the 23ABC Facebook page where it was shared nearly 700 times.

The day after watching our story aired Gray said he was contacted by a 23ABC viewer, who led him to his stolen truck.

According to gray, a viewer sent him a photo of the stolen truck that had abandoned in a field in east Bakersfield.

Gray also said that a couple that saw his story donated money so that Gray can purchase new locks for his home. The keys to his home were inside of his truck when it was taken.
