A Vernon man who had his scooter stolen while attending a community Christmas dinner received the good news that it had been found. Jeff Saunders had saved for a year to purchase the scooter, his only means of transportation. He left it inside the Schubert Centre where the dinner was held, assured by volunteers that it was safe. However, when he checked on it, the scooter was gone. After a stressful holiday period, Saunders was overjoyed when someone contacted him about a potential match.
A Vernon man who had his scooter stolen while attending a community Christmas dinner got the word he had been hoping for on Friday, Jan. 3.
"In the pic, I instantly saw the flashlight between handlebars I installed and started to shake. I watched my thumb vibrate while trying to get it to text." He saved his money – living on a disabled person's income – he said, for one year to buy that scooter. When the scooter arrived at his home, he was overjoyed.
Next, he said, a young woman showed him to his seat but he stopped her, pointing at his scooter and stating he was"uncomfortable sitting where I could not see it."Saunders sat down and enjoyed talking to the people at his table. A 102-year-old woman, he said, was dancing at the front of the room where a young woman was singing Christmas carols.
