Thief Steals Paralyzed Woman's Modified Car
This is so sad. I hope a Christmas miracle takes place and they can get this car back, this lady needs it desperately.
QUOTE OGDEN - Meg Johnson's motto is: "When life gets too hard to stand, just keep on rollin'."
Unfortunately, Johnson isn't able to roll as freely as she could just a few days ago because someone stole her vehicle along with about 45 homemade Christmas gifts - marshmallow treats - that her husband had just loaded in the car to deliver to neighbors and friends.
Her car and her Christmas gifts now gone, Johnson said rather than get angry, "after they took it, we were both laughing really, really hard. My husband said, 'Why didn't they take my car?' If I stopped laughing I was going to cry. We just had to keep laughing."
Stolen vehicle
Johnson's upbeat attitude about the situation is not surprising. Johnson is an accomplished motivational speaker. In 2004, she was paralyzed in a hiking accident. She cannot feel her legs and has limited use of her hands and arms.
But rather that forever sit in sorrow in her wheelchair, Johnson became an inspirational speaker and tries to do as many "normal" activities as she did before.
Videos of Johnson going grocery shopping, baking and getting into her car - the one that is now missing - can be found on her web page.
Her car is a silver Subaru Baja, a vehicle she personally picked because she didn't want to be in a truck or a minivan. Her vehicle was modified so she would be able to get in and out of it on her own as well as drive it.
"It's the first accommodated Baja in the entire world," she said proudly. "It is so cool."
Now, Johnson and her husband would like to get her specially modified car back.
On Dec. 22, about 7:20 p.m., Johnson's husband, Whit, was making several trips in and out of the house to the car, putting Christmas gifts inside....
