Or something more sinister?

Anyone missing a mobility walker? It looks fairly new and in good condition. Seen over the fence at St Kevin’s/ Scholars pub in Blackpitts [Dublin 8]. Could have been stolen then chucked when realising there ain’t much craic to be had taking one of these for a joyride….

Anyone?

    Could have been given out by the HSE to an old person, and dumped by family after they passed away. You are supposed to return this stuff so it can be used again. Its one possible explanation anyway.

      They won’t take them back, which is ridiculous, so it could well have been dumped by the family of someone who passed away.

      I doubt it. Looks like one of the more expensive ones. HSE gives cheapest option usually. Also yeah, it baffles me that they won’t take them back.

        For some items they do not take them back because the cost of fixing them, re-certifying them as safe and sterilising them is more than the cost of a new one. That, at least, is what I was told when I went to return my leg brace after an injury last year. I imagine it may be the same for a mobility aid that may have on occasion had to roll through the lovely presents dog owners leave on our streets :)

      Sounds about right. A hardluck story, a chance to berate us “*sigh* as a nation, we should…” and blame the government for something, all in one.
