EAST BOSTON (CBS) -- An East Boston man's wheelchair was stolen from the front porch of his home Saturday morning.

Thomas Clark told WBZ-TV's Jim Smith he noticed his wheelchair was gone when he went out to pick up his mail.

Clark is diagnosed with diabetes and uses a wheelchair to get around.

He uses a walker when he is at home, but is unable to leave the house without the wheelchair.

The thieves also stole a bicycle on the porch.

"Just bring it back put it back on my porch, leave it there, knock on the door, say I'm sorry, come in we can have a cup of coffee or something, no hard feelings," Clark said.
