A Lawndale family needs help identifying a man who allegedly stole a special tricycle from a little girl with a rare neurological disorder.
Security camera footage caught the man stealing the trike from Elisabeth Booth's front porch early Thursday morning. 'I was shocked. I was sad,' Booth said. Booth said her 7-year-old daughter Alli frequently uses the trike to get around the neighborhood and to go to nearby parks. 'I don't know what sort of low human being you have to be in order to take a special needs kid's adoptive trike,' Booth said.
'We've been working with physical therapists her whole life to try and build muscle tone in her legs, and the bike is the perfect way to get her to do that.'The bike also helps strengthen Alli's legs so she can get better at running. Booth bought the bike used for $1700 more than three years ago and can't afford a replacement right now. 'We're just going to have to walk for now until somebody identifies who took the bike and we can get it back,' Booth said.
