• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Oh mate, this is you know, I think that this
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is something that it's so this is such a tough
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: story to hear, what you've been through, and it is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: such an example for the rest of the community to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: hear just how much a crime can impact somebody. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: when you talk about someone breaking into your home and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the mental impact of them doing what they did, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: then the on flow of your vehicle now being a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: write off and you're not being able to do the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: usual things that you could because you don't have a car.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And my phone as well, we took my phone and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: police have got the pun at the moment, but the
• 2:42

  Speaker 1: Is it going to help you to get another car?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That would go one hundred percent to give me another car?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I could go. I think I could get me so
• 3:11

  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, thank you really much, thank.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: You, thanks for your time this morning.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what, I know that so many
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of us were really quite appalled when we'd heard about
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: what had happened to Jimmy about two weeks ago, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: guess it would have been now, and so many of
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you had called through the station and asked how you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: could possibly help Jimmy. I know that a lot of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you had been in contact with us as well and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: said that you were happy to try and help him
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to get his car fixed. We had batteries and donated,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: we had, you know, we had people wonderful businesses saying
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that they would do the mechanical work for Jimmy. But
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: unfortunately that vehicle is a write off now. The thing
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that upsets me the most about that is that he'd
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: put in so much time and effort and his money
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: obviously to be able to make sure that that vehicle
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: was able to fit his wheelchair in there, and it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was specific for him so that he could drive it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And as we know, he is in a wheelchair.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So now he's in a situation, through absolutely no fault
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of his own, where he doesn't have a car, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he's not able to go and visit his wife as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: freely as what he usually would. Now I tell you what,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to make sure that we share that GOFUNDB
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: page on the Mix one oh four nine Facebook page today,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and I really hope that we're able to get Jimmy
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to that ten thousand dollars and help him get back
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: into a vehicle
