A Nunhead pensioner had his mobility scooter stolen in July – cutting him off from family and pints at The Nags Head pub.
Patrick Cronin, 73, was “trapped” and couldn’t “go nowhere” without his wheels – leaving him stuck in his care home for weeks.
The News told his sad story and a generous reader donated their old scooter to the retired digger driver.
Patrick said: “I can’t believe it. It’s a lovely scooter, it’s a beauty. I am so pleased! I’ll tell you what, I’ll get some stickers and put Southwark News all over it! I will!”
