Walterboro, SC (WCSC) - Gary Tyler and Tom Hendricks donated their time, equipment and materials to help build a home so a wheelchair-bound woman could move freely.

But the two business partners, who were trying to help their community, need your help finding the thieves who robbed them.

Their $80,000 concrete pumping truck was stolen from their Walterboro business site overnight Saturday.

"A lot of work, a lot of time, lot of energy put into that truck," Tyler said of the custom-built truck.

The thieves were so bent on stealing the truck, they crashed it through the fence and later burned it, Tyler said.

"I wonder why somebody would do that. Why would they break in, steal this thing and why they would burn it," Tyler questioned. "Where the truck was dropped is on the off beaten path."

Tyler thinks it may somebody from around the area. The thieves also broke into another truck and took about $4,000 worth of tools.

The men are brokenhearted because they've worked hard and done so well that they're able to help people like Carol Armstrong.

"It's kind of disheartening to have something like this happen, but that wouldn't stop us from helping other people out in the community."

They estimate a loss of about $160,000.

Thats really "F" ed up excuse my language....And people wonder why people that have the time, effort and resources to help people out like that dont or wont do more of it..I applaud their generosity to kelp out the disabled woman and spit on the people who would do that to them. I have a wheelchair bound daughter and a couple of times I had been lazy of not unloading her wheelchair and leaving in the back of my truck and on 3 occassions people would come by and steal her special air cushioned seat off of her wheelchair. Crap like this really pisses me right off.
