Man receives two offers of vehicles, plus $2,500, after thieves smash his car

Abdullahi Rage will soon have wheels again thanks to the generosity of area residents.

 

The 22-year-old Somali refugee has received two offers of vehicles, plus about $2,500, after his car was stolen last month and smashed by thieves in a high-speed chase with police in Burlington.

 

"It makes me very happy," said Abdullahi, who didn't get theft and collision insurance when he bought his 1993 red Chrysler Intrepid in December.

 

The good news continues. The east Hamilton resident lost his job at a rural Ancaster bakery because he couldn't get to work without a car. The owner has since contacted him and told him he can have his job back once he arranges transportation.

 

The impound lot which held his wrecked vehicle after the Jan. 29 incident has also agreed to waive the $180 it wanted from Abdullahi to retrieve his belongings from his car, provided he sign the wreck over to them. He did and was able to get such things as work boots.

 

The Melvin Avenue resident is eager to contact the anonymous Hamiltonians who want to give him a vehicle. One is a 1991 Plymouth Sundance. The other is a 1998 van.

 

With the donations, he'll be able to pay off the $900 he owed on a loan he took out to buy the Intrepid. He says he'll get theft and collision insurance for his next vehicle. "I have to get it."

 

Abdullahi came to Hamilton in 2004 after living in a Kenyan refugee camp.

 

He last saw his car when he parked it behind his apartment building at 8 p.m. Jan. 28. Nine hours later, he learned it had been involved in a police pursuit in Burlington.

With a sedan and a van, the brother is more than ready to drive to Scarboro or Etobicoke and find himself a single-mom.

 

Though kind and very generous what these good samaritans offered, vehicle donations in Tanana are fully tax-deductible. In other words, whatever the value of that vehicles was, the donor can deduct it from his or her tax obligations this year. It's really a win-win situation.

 

Just one question remains, why are there Somalis still living in Hamilton, Ontario?
