Lubbock police have recovered a wheelchair stolen from a Levelland woman at a local Walmart.
We told you about Sue Thompson on Sunday night. She was struggling to get by without her wheel chair, after teenagers were caught on surveillance video stealing it while she shopped at the Walmart on the South Loop.
Police say they found the chair and have suspects, but no one has been arrested so far.
Thompson says after our story, an anonymous donor came forward and offered to buy her a new chair.
Now, she doesn't need that, but says she is thankful for all the kind wishes sent her way.
"I appreciate all the interest in my story and but I'm just glad to have my chair back. It means all the world to me to get it back, I can get up without being in pain in the mornings. "
Thompson says the police tracked down a few of the suspects because of an ATM withdrawal. She says she does intend to press charges.
