Stuff like this really ticks me off. They tore out the lift, etc. The vehicle was totally gutted and they left the empty carcass. The story that was broadcast stated that the family was now "in negotiation" with the insurance company. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Police are still looking for the person responsible for stealing a specially-equipped van from a home in west Charlotte early Tuesday morning.
Cynthia McGill said her 2000 Dodge Caravan was equipped with a lift to assist in transporting her physically-challenged son, Larry, who has Cerebral Palsy.
According to the police report, the van was stolen from the McGills' home at 4620 Westridge Drive between 1 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
The van, which is valued at $15,000, was recovered by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Tuesday afternoon.
"They did leave a pair of sunglasses and cigarette butts, so hopefully, some of these items left in the vehicle, we can get a trace on who these low-hearted people are," said Larry McGill's sister, Angie.
The person who stole the van caused lots of damage to the vehicle and they even ripped out a television.
"Larry is still a little upset and my mother has told him don't worry," Angie McGill said. "We at least have the van back, and we'll work on getting it repaired."
