A Puyallup family is working to repair their daughter’s custom motorized wheelchair after it was taken on Feb. 4.
According to the Puyallup Police Department , a Kia Sorento was stolen from a residence in the 2400 block of 17th SW. Inside the vehicle was the victim’s 10-year-old daughter's electric wheelchair. The Kia was later recovered at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, but the wheelchair was not located."There were just a few pieces of the wheelchair in the back of the car when we found it," said the 10-year-old’s dad Brandon Sales.
The family believes it was in the process of being scrapped for money."They bent the frame and the axel," he said. "That’s not an easy thing to fix. We’re talking about a child’s customized wheelchair. Brand new it costs up to $20,000."Right now, Tirzah has a loaner chair."We’re actually using the wheels of her old chair on the loaner," said Sales. "As a 10-year-old would, she’s missing her chair deeply.
