Police Find Elderly Sacramento Woman's Stolen Tricycle

EAST SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — An elderly woman's tricycle has been found by police after it was stolen nearly weeks ago.

Police found a man riding the tricycle, who said he bought it from somebody else.

The three-wheeled cycle was 75-year-old Pat Ramsey's main mode of transportation.

"Ruby is my friend, she's not my best friend, but she is my friend. And we went everywhere together," she said.

She went to McKinley Park to get some exercise in the pool for a couple of hours on Aug. 30. When she came out, she found out someone cut her lock and stole the trike she loved so much right from under her nose.

"Ruby is my friend, she's not my best friend, but she is my friend. And we went everywhere together," she said.

Her trainer stepped in and rallied the community to raise enough money to buy her a new tricycle.

Now that the tricycle has been found, Ramsey says she's going to return the one she bought and return the money to the people who helped her.
