West Kelowna RCMP are hoping that by appealing to the thief’s conscience, they can convince the person who took a $7,000 wheelchair to return it, along with a camera taken at the same time.
“We are appealing to whomever stole these items to do the right thing and return them,” Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon wrote in a media release.
“The victim relies on his wheelchair as he is mobility challenged.”
According to police, the wheelchair and camera were taken from the owner’s vehicle while he was fishing on the main lake at Headwater Lakes on Sept. 11.
The Headwater Lakes are roughly 25 kilometres west of Peachland.
