Scooter Hunter Pence Donated To Make-A-Wish Recovered After Theft

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A scooter stolen from San Francisco's Make-A-Wish office that was autographed by San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence has been found and at least two suspects have been arrested.

Make-A-Wish Foundation spokeswoman Jen Wilson says San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee came to the city's foundation office Tuesday morning to deliver the good news.

A pair of thieves stole the scooter donated by Pence over the weekend.

Police weren't immediately available for comment and it's unclear where and when the scooter was found.

A foundation donor paid $40,000 at an auction for the scooter and dinner for four with Pence last year. The scooter was being stored at the office.

The nonprofit organization last year arranged 400 wishes for San Francisco Bay Area children with life-threatening medical conditions.
