A Gerritsen Beach man is pleading for whomever stole his wheelchair last night to return it promptly.

Brian Daly, a 32-year-old man who was born with cerebral palsy, depends on the wheelchair to get around. The motorized wheelchair, which cost $10,000, was stolen outside of St. James Church on Gerritsen Avenue while Daly was attending a function inside.

The chair was uninsured and Daly is unsure how he'll be able to afford a new one.
