A TRICYCLE THEFT IN WOODLAND THAT IS A FELONY OF CRIME AND HEART..........

Earlier this week a disabled Woodland woman Jenny Kreiger, who rides an adult tricycle as her mode of transportation around town, came out of her house to go to her job as a bagger at Raley's to discover her tricycle had been stolen. Jenny, who is a loyal and hardworking employee has never missed a day of work in her many years as a bagger at the supermarket. Thus the theft of the adult tricycle strikes at her livelihood and independence. Stealing Jenny's adult tricycle is not only criminally wrong, but an offense against the dignity of a marginalized person with special needs. As Jenny told KOVR CBS 13 News, anyone who does a bad deed like this, "Has no heart for people like us". The theft committed against Jenny is not only morally wrong, but a felony crime. The monetary value of her adult tricycle is more than $600.00. That is where the sadness of this story intersects with a positive outcome for Jenny. Jenny is considered such a gem at work that her co-workers, customers, and friends, have united in response to her loss and donated $800.00, to replace her adult tricycle. Kudos and commendations to them. As the Woodland City Police search for the thief, with the possibilty of imprisonment for the perpetrator, what else does a criminal like this deserve, who exacts such a personal and social injustice against a person like Jenny Kreiger, with special needs ?..........
