From Times Staff Reports

Police on Monday asked for the public’s help in finding a stolen tricycle belonging to a disabled 13-year-old boy who needs it to get around.

Paralyzed on his left side as the result of a brain injury, Derek Meza used the specially modified, donated $1,200 trike to enjoy the outdoors. It was stolen from the front porch of a residence in the 1400 block of West Moore Avenue sometime between April 23 and Saturday, police said.

It has no left pedal but has a harness allowing the rider’s foot to be secured, a right brake lever and an extra-wide seat.
