Should\'ve gotten an accomplice who can push

Taking a page from the book of misdeeds of Cleveland Browns fans, someone attending Tuesday's Twins-White Sox game in the Metrodome swiped 17-year-old Sam Dougherty's wheelchair. Because all the good grocery carts had already been taken from the closest supermarket and folks need something with wheels to push their bindles around in.

Last night, Sam went to the Metrodome with his family. They left his wheelchair on the concourse and walked down to their seats to watch the game.

The Doughertys know it wasn't necessarily the best place to leave a wheelchair, but they've done it before and haven't had any problems.

"We're trusting. We leave the chair there and trust that people are going to respect that," says Rick Dougherty, Sam's father.

But out in the open like that, Sam's wheelchair became an easy target.

"We'd never even think somebody would come and take a wheelchair," says Rick.

After the game and at the top of the staircase, the wheelchair specifically designed for Sam was indeed gone.

It had not been moved by Twins or Metrodome staff, but had instead been swiped by a thief.

Hmm. Looks like someone didn't invest in a wheelchair lock. It's really not a very large outlay, handicapped people. But, nooo, you always think us "normies" aren't capable of doing things like stealing, so you arrogantly leave you possessions lying around unguarded thinking people of fully functioning legs couldn't possibly take your stuff. Well, we're capable people too – maybe not handicapable! – and we're tired of you strutting around like you own the plac. Thank you, Twins fans, for striking a blow for normie rights!
