A GENEROUS businessman has donated a scooter to replace one stolen from its owner's New Addington house.
Barrie Semark, owner of Barrie's Mobility Service in Homestead Way, delivered the smart, green model to Steven Hancock on Wednesday.
Mr Hancock's scooter, given to him by his mother after he broke his foot, was stolen in the early hours of January 16, as reported in the Advertiser.
It was found beyond repair in Milne Park.
Mr Semark said: "When I read the story I said to my wife 'I have got to help that chap out if I can.' So I had a look around to see what I had, and sorted that out.
"When I hear of these things, it just winds me up."
Mr Hancock, 56, said: "It is lovely, a brilliant scooter – we could not believe it.
"I went to show my mother and she was overjoyed.
"I want to say, thank you so, so much."
