TUSCUMBIA, Ala. (WHNT) – A disabled Shoals man has no way to get around his home after thieves stole his only transportation.

Doug Gilliam says living along the Tennessee River is his dream, but with the beauty, comes steep banks. Gilliam’s health is declining and it’s a challenge to get around. So Gilliam used a Q-Link Frontrunner 500 to navigate his own yard.

“He can’t walk up this hill, his legs won’t let him and his lungs won’t let him either,” said the victim’s wife, Cheronda Gilliam.
