The little girl with cerebral palsy whose specially adapted tricycle was stolen from her apartment complex on Monday will get a new ride, courtesy of Wells Fargo. Bank officials pledged $2,000 today to replace the red, black and chrome trike, which was designed with Velcro straps on the seat and pedals, oval handlebars and other features that helped 7-year-old Marina Webb-Gordon ride safely. The money will go to the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program in Berkeley, which will build Marina's new tricycle, according to bank spokesman Chris Hammond. The theft left Marina heartbroken because it was the only way she could go to the park, tag along with her friends and accompany her dad on bicycle rides, her family said. The tricycle, which originally cost $1,100, apparently was purchased by San Mateo County two years ago at the request of special education department officials and given to Marina's parents, David Gordon and Marika Webb. Webb said her daughter started shaking and crying when she discovered her tricycle was gone and kept asking why anybody would do such a thing. Anyone with more information regarding the whereabouts of the tricycle is asked to contact the Foster City Police Department at (650) 286-3300.

Wiccans are evil satanists. The salem witch trials were a good thing.

no, she is not a satanist. she doesn't believe in that sort of thing at all. she is just interested in the female aspect of the same God that you worship.
