JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- They were eviltaking somebodys walkerpeople dont use walkers for nothing.
Strong words come from Sue Welch after the $300 walker she used daily was stolen while she shopped for groceries Monday afternoon. Welch says she shops at the Wal-Mart on 103rd street at least twice a month, and always leaves the walker at the front of the store. She suffers from Multiple Sclerosis and uses a motorized scooter to get around the store. When she returned to her walker a little over an hour later, someone had taken it.
My power chairs too bigI only take my power chair to big outingsI use my walker all the timenow Im left using my canewhich Im very unstable with the cane.
The stores manager could not be located inside, and the assistant manager would not let us view the security tapes. Welch tells us she was told the video shows two women walking into the store and grabbing the walker, then walking around the inside of the store. She says in the video, it looks as if one of the women is older than the other.
I would like for the person who took it to bring it back to Wal-Martto have a consciencea guilty conscience and bring it backno questions would be asked, just bring it back and leave it where you foundthat would be the greatest thing that I could pray for.
The walker was red with four wheels, and had a basket and chair attached. It was made by the Invacare Company. If you know where this chair is, please call police.
