Oftentimes physical handicaps are not readily visible. People with emphysema and COPD cannot walk far without getting severely winded, but you'd never know to look at them. The same with back injuries, etc. Just because a person doesn't have a cane or crutches does not mean they don't have some other ailment that prevents them from walking far.

As Mary-Jean pointed out, handicaps are not always obvious to the casual
observer. Although I can related antidotal evidence of someone who "found" a
handicap permit, I am willing to grant the benefit of the doubt to anyone who has
the permit and assume that s/he has a legitimate need for it.
