Police are looking for a thief who stole an electric wheelchair from a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor from outside a doctor's office on the Upper West Side.
Now, he is speaking out about the ordeal, which happened Tuesday morning as Eric Plan went to the office with his niece, Nina Klefin.
Plan survived the Holocaust, though he lost most of his family, so he has every bit of knowledge about how awful people can be. But even he was surprised someone took his $2,500 wheelchair.Investigators say the person was caught on surveillance video riding away on the wheelchair from outside the office in the 200 block of West End Avenue.
Luckily, he said he can afford a new one if need be, but he's hoping police will track down the culprit. They're also hoping it was taken for good cause and not for no reason.
