Barb Dobree has her wheels back.

The Comox senior put a call out on social media on Feb. 19, after it was discovered someone had stolen her electric trike she relies upon for mobility.

B次元官网网址淚 have a health condition where I am no longer allowed to drive, so I had to sell my car, and my walking is not that great, even though I am in a central location,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淎nd I certainly canB次元官网网址檛 carry groceries. So I decided I needed something.B次元官网网址�

When she posted the social media plea for its return, she wasnB次元官网网址檛 expecting much.

B次元官网网址淥nly four per cent of all stolen bikes are ever recovered,B次元官网网址� she said.

Dobree said she has yet to take it for a ride, but it looks to be in good condition.

B次元官网网址淚 havenB次元官网网址檛 really had a good look at it yet, but the wheels go around,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚 havenB次元官网网址檛 tested it out yet, because the battery was dead, and it was late (when I got it back). ThereB次元官网网址檚 no obvious damage. There is a box missing that was in the basket at the back, but thatB次元官网网址檚 no big deal.B次元官网网址�

The trike was in DobreeB次元官网网址檚 assigned underground parking spot at her strata when it was stolen. She has put it in her storage locker now.
