WTH is wrong with people.

The news just had a story about a wheelchair that belong to a 5 yr. old with a traumatic brain injury was stolen from their front yard.

It had gotten wet and they set it out to dry.

Mom was asking that it be returned.

There are idiots out there who will take anything they can sell. They figure it is easier than working. Sad but true. And some people are simply evil.

There isn't a good answer.  Theft of medical equipment is not uncommon.

Some have lost their moral compass, if they were even taught what it is.

Our neighbor told us the other day that someone came into her yard and actually dug up her flowers and took them away. We had some winter cabbage some years ago in our yard. Beautiful things. We grew them in pots. One day we went out in the front yard, and someone had stolen them. Absolutely amazing! There's an old saying--"He would steal the quarters off a dead man's eyes". There are people who will steal anything.

So sad but not surprising anymore. I hope they get it back.

One of the not-too-bright is the mother who set it in the front yard.  I live in a safe neighborhood but am very conscious of what I leave out front, if only briefly.  If it was wet, she should have taken a towel and dried it off.

@Kachina624  I'm guessing if it were that easy she would have.  It probably had padding that got wet and would take some time to dry.

@CrazyKittyLvr2    The seats of wheelchairs are a vinyl material made to be wipeable.  Liquid doesn't soak into them.

I've seen stories like that before.  There are a lot of Jerks in this world.  Hopefully they'll get it back.
