A Calgary couple, Alexis Solberg and Jeremy Van Deventer, are facing significant challenges after their car was stolen while they briefly shopped. The theft has left them without crucial items: a wheelchair used by Van Deventer, who has been diagnosed with ALS, and Solberg's wedding dress, both stored in their 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This incident has not only disrupted their daily life but also raised concerns about their upcoming wedding planned for mid-March.

The couple had recently sold their two older vehicles to afford the new Jeep, which was specifically chosen for its accessibility to help Van Deventer manage his condition. Since the theft, they have been largely confined to their home as they struggle to navigate life without the adapted vehicle that meant so much to their mobility and future. The emotional toll of the theft is compounded by the approaching wedding date, creating pressure to recover their belongings without causing further delays.

As they await any news on the recovery of their stolen items, the couple remains hopeful that the community will assist in spreading the word. The incident highlights broader issues of vehicle theft and its impact on individuals with disabilities, raising important conversations about safety and community support in urban environments.
