HBO In Briefs — Thieves Take Wheelchair Lift

Joan Olson, of Ramsey Road, found out how low thieves will go when someone stole the wheelchair lift attached to the back of her car Monday. Joan uses a wheelchair for mobility. But she used a walker instead of her wheelchair to join a friend for breakfast. She thought it was odd that she could see out her rear-view mirror better than usual. But she didn't notice the lift missing until her friend asked her where it was. Seems thieves cut the wires that operated the wheelchair lift and then unbolted it sometime after she parked her car at her apartment complex Sunday evening. Joan's back license plate was also missing. The gray wheelchair lift is valued at $2000. CPD Blue is investigating.
