Shirley Brigham, 67, has lived in her flat in Falcon Court near Fuller's Hill in Great Yarmouth for 11 years.

The scooter was stolen at some point between 9am and 11.20pm on Saturday, June 11 and she was unable to get out of the house for a couple of days until a neighbour leant her the use of their one.

She said that it was an easy target for sitting outside and she should be allowed to store it under the communal stairwell on the ground floor.

'It is everything to me,' she said, adding: 'Without it I can't have a normal life.'
