Thieves have stolen an Oklahoma City boy's wheelchair. Seven-year-old Blake Lambert suffers from Cerebral Palsy. His special needs wheelchair allows him to go to school because it has a harness so he can ride the bus.

But, thieves stole the wheelchair out of the back of his mother's van.

"They'd have to be pretty desperate for money," said Kenetha Charboneau, Blake's mother. "It's hard with a special needs child. And I just can't believe anyone did that."

Blake's parents say insurance bought his first wheel chair and it's going to cost about $1,000 to replace it.
