A mother is waiting to see if a wheelchair abandoned in a field belongs to her disabled son.
Carol Rogers, from Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy, said her blind son Kyle, 16, has been left house-bound since the chair was stolen from their home six days ago.
Mrs Rogers said the thieves had taken Kyle's "independence" and she could not afford £300 for a new chair.
She is waiting to see if a chair found near Llandudno by police is Kyle's, and whether it is in working order.
Kyle was left disabled after developing meningitis as a baby and his mother said he could walk no further than 20m (66ft) at a time.
This was probably the thoughtless act of a few kids. But it does rather vividly demonstrate the dangers of allowing kids to do what they want. The relatively small number of children whose parents (although it's usually a mother and live-in boyfriend) clearly have no idea how to raise children, or - worse - can't be bothered, create disruption and problems in society disproportionate to their numbers.
