Today at around 3:30pm Andrew's IPAD2 was stolen from our car in the Walmart Parking Lot on Dougall Avenue while parked in a handicapped parking stall. The IPAD2 was placed under the driver's side seat while we ran in to get a few groceries. This IPAD2 is used by Andrew as a communication device. It also has a unique case with a handle and built in speakers around it. This case CANNOT be bought in a regular store but was leased through the John McGiveny Centre and is for disabled people. The IPAD2 also has a unique program on it called proloquo2go that Andrew used in order to communicate. This program also CANNOT be bought and was put on the IPAD2 through the John McGiveny Centre as a tool for people with disabilities like Andrew in order to communicate. This IPAD2 did NOT look like a normal IPAD2. The case around it made it look quite different from any other IPAD2. This IPAD2 was not just used for fun it was a device used for COMMUNICATION. If ANYONE happens to see it please report it to the police. It does NOT look like a normal IPAD with the case on it. If anyone also happened to noticed someone walking around the Walmart parking lot around 3pm carrying a unique looking IPAD2 please let me or the police know. Whoever took it, I hope you have a conscience and when you start playing with it and realize that this was not just something that was used for fun and it was actually used by someone who needs it in order to communicate with the world, you will turn it in!!! I have had one upset boy this afternoon, but am also glad to find out that it can be replaced with all of Andrew's programming on it (it was backed up at the John McGivney Centre), plus we also may be able to have it traced!!! Thanks everyone
