Some births are worse than murders.

In possibly the most fucked thing I've heard of recently, juliann and naughtypixie's car has been stolen ... with Juliann's wheelchair in it. It's an old London taxi, painted bright green, and is completely unmissable. Timmie's journal entry includes a photo. See also Juliann's.

At present they're asking people to look out for it and are waiting on the insurance (to tell them they're not getting anything). There's no replace-the-car fund as yet. I'll keep the world updated. You keep them updated too.

The taxi in question

Here's some more: step 1 of the thieves, assuming they stole the car for a specific buyer (who wanted an old London taxi) rather than a joy ride, will be to toss the wheel chair in a dumpster. Step 2 will be repainting.

It's an electric wheelchair, so I hope they get a hernia trying :-(

Having had to lift one into a car singlehanded myself, I can certainly attest to the weight of those things. It's really a two-man job. The battery alone weighs a tonne.
