After realizing she forgot the walker in the front yard, she called her husband only to find out that some stole the walker out of their yard, said police.
Surveillance video from near the scene captured a white Chevrolet 1500 pulling up to the home. Police say the vehicle's passenger is then seen grabbing the walker from the front yard.
Police later located the vehicle in the unit block of Robinson Drive and arrested, 51-year-old Leland Watson and 49-year-old Donald Cale.
Watson was charged with theft, conspiracy and possession of heroin. Cale was charged with theft and conspiracy.
