A woman heading to her car to drive to a kidney dialysis appointment opened the door to her driveway early Friday morning to find the vehicle missing.
“I figure it’s long gone,” Theresa Ford, 57, said of her 1996 black Honda Accord. “It’s the No. 1 (kind of) car to get stolen.”
Ford, who lives with her husband near East 33rd Street and G Street in the Shumway neighborhood, said the vehicle was not insured against theft because it’s too old. She discovered it stolen at about 5 a.m.
Primarily, she said, she uses the car to get to thrice-weekly dialysis appointments and other doctor visits. She said she’ll lean on her husband, Roy Ford, also 57, and the couple’s three adult children to make her appointments. Theresa Ford said she’s on the kidney transplant list at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in Portland.
