Good story, and we need be reminded what easy pickens we folks are. I was in Miami for wheelchair games. Word got out how easy cutting back packs free was and within five days 30 people in chairs were robbed, some paras were even knocked to the ground. Sure the victims yelled, screamed, or even fight but those Miami people had this down. They do not need be hard off. Like picking apples off a tree.

At the beginning of this week, I was in Indianapolis Ind. for a Governor Board meeting. My CAN and I had some hours before the meeting, so we went to the mall in downtown Indianapolis. While we were in the mall she stopped because, this guy was trying to sell make up in the middle of the mall. So, I stopped with her to listening to him trying to sell us the make up. All at once she had seen that someone had stolen her over night bag that was on the back of my wheelchair. Well she started running down the mall trying to find her bag. I went after her and we found a policeman. She told him that someone had stolen her over night bag from me and that she was angry that someone was so hard up that they would steal from a disability woman. The policeman told her it happens all the time. You might be wondering way I'm telling you this story. I do not want it to happen to you. When you are out in the public be aware we are vulnerable to those who are dangers. My CAN told me to get a little bell on my book bag then if someone tries to take it I will hear it and just back up and nock them down and start yelling. I know I will be ready for anyone who tries to steal something from me. Wheelchair Warrior __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
