Chris Murray was working in his downtown yard on Sunday, April 9, when daughter Alana asked where she should park her scarlet tricycle.

The space where she usually locked it up was cluttered, so he told Alana to leave it out back in the driveway next to mom91裸聊视频檚 car until later, when it would be moved after everything was cleaned up. A busy Sunday in the yard led to suppertime, however, and the trike was forgotten 91裸聊视频� left unlocked in the family91裸聊视频檚 backyard. The bike went missing at about 6 a.m. on Monday, April 10.

91裸聊视频淭here was a witness who saw somebody pushing it down Battle Street not far from our house,91裸聊视频� Murray said, noting it was likely someone eyed it from the alley and walked into the backyard, which isn91裸聊视频檛 fenced off.

Whoever stole the trike also made off with two artificial plants formerly adorning either side of the garage. They were seen in the bike91裸聊视频檚 basket as it was being wheeled away. Those plants were inexpensive and replaceable, but it91裸聊视频檚 the principle behind Alana91裸聊视频檚 missing ride that irks Chris.

Alana, 42, has special needs. The adult tricycle was her primary mode of transportation because the three wheels compensated for her lack of balance and got her to activities like cooking class, which will hopefully eventually enable her to take care of her own meals.

Murray said the theft has devastated Alana.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 just one of those things,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 always somebody out there looking for some mistake to take advantage of somebody.91裸聊视频�

The family is spreading the word and filed a police report with the hopes of recovering the tricycle. But a week later, the situation has thrown off Alana91裸聊视频檚 routines. When KTW spoke with Murray on Monday, he was about to pick up a shiny blue replacement from Canadian Tire. The new trike costs $500, which Alana91裸聊视频檚 parents are paying, but Murray said Alana couldn91裸聊视频檛 have covered the new wheels with her disability pension, which makes him feel for those without family supports.

91裸聊视频淚t would have been a financial burden,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淪he wouldn91裸聊视频檛 have been able to come up with $500 to buy a new one.91裸聊视频�

The Murrays are asking anyone who spots the bike around town to call 250-320-0476. In the meantime, there91裸聊视频檚 more work to be done in the yard.

91裸聊视频淭he next thing will be a fence,91裸聊视频� Chris said.
