Couple’s handicap accessible van stolen on Christmas Eve

COLUMBIA, SC (AP) — A Columbia couple is having trouble after they say someone stole their handicap accessible minivan.

Media outlets report Robert and Deborah McCurdy woke up Christmas morning to find their $60,000, fully converted minivan gone. Robert McCurdy became a quadriplegic after being injured in a driving accident 35 years ago. He and his wife used the 2012 Honda Odyssey to drive him to and from work every day.

Robert McCrudy says converting the van to being handicap accessible was very costly, and that he had two more years of payments on it.

The couple filed a police report and asked neighbors if they saw anything, but most weren’t home.

Anyone with information about the van is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
