3:01Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS — More than $3,000 worth of equipment from a veterans’ charity organization was stolen over the weekend.
“You just feel violated,” Veterans Mobility Corps Operations Manager Nancy Shamel says. “We’re a nonprofit organization, and to have somebody come and do this to us is kind of heart-sickening.”
Veterans Mobility Corps refurbishes donated power chairs. They are then given to veterans, spouses, or children of veterans.
Veterans Mobility Corps Vice President Frank Smith found the storage unit for the organization was broken into Saturday. He discovered the unit, located at Whitmore Storage on Skyline Drive, had a new lock on it. The original lock had been sawed off and was replaced with another.
“I have a feeling they’re coming back… why else would they put their own lock on?” Smith says. “I think they probably filled up a truck, and away they went.”
Smith found multiple pieces of equipment missing, including a Coleman 4500 generator, a new Kobalt air compressor, two tubs full of wheelchair battery chargers and other items. No wheelchairs were stolen.
