Ronald Smiley says his mobility scooter was outside of his home on the 1500 block of North Hollywood Street in Philadelphia's Brewerytown section Friday morning.
He says the scooter was stolen sometime after 9:00am.
And while Smiley does have prosthesis, he says he desperately needs the scooter for distances longer than a block.
"It's my mobility," said Smiley. "It's my legs. The scooter is literally my legs. For anything longer than a block or two, the scooter is mandatory and necessary."
The scooter is blue with a metallic finish.
Smiley has reported the theft to Veterans affairs and the police.
