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 mom香蕉视频直播檚 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 香蕉视频直播� left unlocked in the family香蕉视频直播檚 backyard. The bike went missing at about 6 a.m. on Monday, April 10.

香蕉视频直播淭here was a witness who saw somebody pushing it down Battle Street not far from our house,香蕉视频直播� Murray said, noting it was likely someone eyed it from the alley and walked into the backyard, which isn香蕉视频直播檛 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 bike香蕉视频直播檚 basket as it was being wheeled away. Those plants were inexpensive and replaceable, but it香蕉视频直播檚 the principle behind Alana香蕉视频直播檚 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.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just one of those things,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 always somebody out there looking for some mistake to take advantage of somebody.香蕉视频直播�

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 Alana香蕉视频直播檚 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 Alana香蕉视频直播檚 parents are paying, but Murray said Alana couldn香蕉视频直播檛 have covered the new wheels with her disability pension, which makes him feel for those without family supports.

香蕉视频直播淚t would have been a financial burden,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淪he wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have been able to come up with $500 to buy a new one.香蕉视频直播�

The Murrays are asking anyone who spots the bike around town to call 250-320-0476. In the meantime, there香蕉视频直播檚 more work to be done in the yard.

香蕉视频直播淭he next thing will be a fence,香蕉视频直播� Chris said.
