Stealing a van w/ wheelchair in it? Ranks right up there with stealing stuff from a church.

St. Paul Police Recover Stolen Van, 2 Arrested
ST. PAUL (WCCO)
St. Paul Police arrested Keri Jean Brush, 32, and James Thomas Neely, 47, for allegedly stealing a van outside a St. Paul home on Sunday.

St. Paul Police were able to recover a stolen van inside thanks to a motorist who alerted police.

On Sunday morning, the van was stolen outside a home on the 1800 block of Minnehaha Avenue. According to the van's owners, inside was her 18-year-old son's wheelchair. Her son has autism and she said the wheelchair was his "lifeline" to the world.

Around 6 p.m. Monday, St. Paul Police received a call from someone who saw the van on University Avenue. The motorist followed the van while still on the phone with police until officers were able to stop the van.

St. Paul Police arrested Keri Jean Brush, 32, and James Thomas Neely, 47, at the scene.

The wheelchair was not inside the van at the time and police are still searching for it.

Very sad story. I hope they recover the wheelchair.
