Ohio food donation mix-up
A neighbor of an Ohio football coach won't return food that was accidentally left on his porch.

ROSSFORD, OH (KTRK) -- A food donation meant for the family of an Ohio football coach was delivered to the wrong home; now the recipient won't give it back.

Residents in the cities of Rossford and Perrysburg held fundraisers to help the family of an assistant football coach after he donated a kidney to save the life of his 12-year-old daughter. The food from the fundraisers were accidently left on the porch of Ray Paige's neighbors.

Paige said his neighbors won't return them.

"You would've thought that just doing the right thing...what a good Samaritan would do, just go back and, 'Hey I have your stuff. Here's your stuff back," Paige said.

Organizations in the two cities plan to hold more food drives to make up for the loss. Law enforcement officials said there is no ongoing theft investigation.
