Disabled Girl's Trampoline Stolen

Niki French showed us what's left of her daughter's trampoline. Someone stole the trampoline out of their backyard late last week.

"We're very upset that someone would come into our yard and steal something we worked hard for," says French.

The trampoline was a vital part of her disabled daughter's physical therapy program. Nine year old Brianna had open heart surgery when she was younger and suffered a stroke during the procedure. That incident left her disabled and in desperate need of physical activity.

"Brianna is basically non verbal due to the stroke, but she was very upset. She still walks out in the backyard looking for it and we have no explanation as to who took it and why they took it," says French. "The police think it was probably some teenagers, they were going to talk to some troubled teens in the area."

The French's have a message for whoever stole the trampoline...

"I hope you can find it in your heart to bring it back to us, my husband and I scraped and pinched and saved every bit of money to be able to buy it, I won't press charges, we just want it back."

Late Monday afternoon, a News 5 viewer contacted me and offered to donate a trampoline to the French family. We'll keep you posted on what happens.
