    Story

    A sick pensioner has been robbed of his independence by a thief who befriended him before swiping his mobility scooter.
    William Fenwick was collecting his pension and paying off bills at Nile Street post office in North Shields when he took a bad turn and was comforted by a stranger.
    Despite approaching his 90th birthday, Mrs Leyton said her dad, a former fitter on shipyards, prefers to live on his own and is able to cook and shop for himself.

    Let's get him a new scooter and make sure he has his independence

      Thanks for organising this Laura. What an awful thing to happen to such a vulnerable person. Hope the police manage to find the culprit.
