A man’s electric tricycle, his only form of transportation to his job, was stolen on Saturday from the Starbucks. A friend has started a GoFundMe to replace it.

From the GoFundMe campaign:

Patrick Schneider’s electric tricycle was stolen from Starbucks on Nov. 17. Patrick is a fixture in the Dogtown, Richmond Heights and Maplewood neighborhoods. Most everyone knows him by name or by his smile and waves. He is kind, helpful and intelligent. He also has a bad knee and heart problems. Without his electric tricycle he is unable to get to the local historic homes he restores, his primary source of income. This also hinders his access to the grocery store.

This is Patrick’s only mode of transportation. The trike originally belonged to his best friend. He also had physical limitations and when he passed away about 3 years ago his children made sure the bike went to Patrick.

With Thanksgiving in 2 days, please give thanks for your blessings and give to help a neighbor in need.

  1. Thanks to everyone who has donated to Patrick’s disabled trike fund so far. Patrick is getting closer to his goal of Independence and mobility.

  2. Anyone on Nextdoor knows Patrick is a racist weirdo and shouldn’t be getting this sort of positive attention.

          • Sure, I have several Cards hats, a couple Blues and a couple Royals. But nothing that shows I support a wannabe despot

            • The absence of a MAGA hat could possibly indicate your approval of murdering unborn children. I certainly wouldn’t consider any advice on anything from such a person.

            • The presence of a MAGA hat could possibly indicate your approval of harming born children and adults by preventing good healthcare, loosening pollution laws, etc. I certainly wouldn’t consider any advice on anything from such a person.

              There – fixed it for ya.

            • Straight out of the liberal play book. If you disagree with me, you must be a racist. You are allowed to have you own opinion as long as it is in complete agreement with my opinion.

              And I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone that has an affordable health care plan health plan that says the insurance is good. (I help you out, it’s overpriced and low on coverage)

              What happened to the days of helping people because they need help and not worrying about who they voted for.

            • Well Dan & abc123 you guys go murder some fetuses and I’ll send Patrick 25$ for a new scooter. Sleep well!

      • Looked at his FB. He has some interesting views, to say the least. Anti-Islamic, extremely pro-Confederacy, very pro-Trump, and pro-Native American. The last doesn’t fit with the others, considering all the damage to Native land rights right now.

  3. I love seeing Patrick ride his bike in the area. He can be seen up at VFW Post 3500 regularly. I hope he gets his bike back or a replacement.
