Fraser Valley farm frustrated with theft of golf cart that provided a senior with freedom, independence

FRASER VALLEY — A farm in the Fraser Valley has been left reeling after someone inexplicably stole a golf cart from a carport on the farm’s property last week, leaving a senior without vital transportation around the farm.

The farm in question, Aldor Acres, is located east of Fort Langley. Open year-round for seasonal events, it houses a fall pumpkin patch and seasonal market with fresh picked corn, u-pick sunflowers, pumpkins, farm sausages, local artisan products, and farm animals. December welcomes Christmas trees & Christmas market, farm animals, marshmallows and hot chocolate around the campfire.

According to a social media post, Aldor Acres says the theft occurred last Wednesday evening (Feb. 12), depriving the family’s grandma, Dorothy, of her sense of freedom and a valued component of her independence. The farm issued an earnest plea to the individuals responsible for the theft.

“You didn’t just steal a golf cart…You withdrew a little old lady’s sense of freedom,” the farm said. “You took one of the last thread’s of our grandma’s independence. Honestly, if you’re reading this, we just want you to know that if you really felt you needed to take this to get by, to pay your bills, to put food on the table, you could have just asked us for help instead.”

The farm says it understands that life can be difficult for people these days, but that alone doesn’t atone for the inexcusable theft.

“We know life is hard. And anyone can make not so great choices cause we feel like we don’t have any other options,” Aldor Acres said. “But the truth is, we always have an option. We can always choose another path. A path that doesn’t hurt someone else. A path that doesn’t cause real pain inside. A path that doesn’t push someone else down.”

The family hopes the suspects responsible for the theft understand the pain this has caused them.

“We care about our gramma and how this has made her feel. If it was your gramma, we think you’d feel the same,” Aldor Acres said. “If anyone has any leads on where we could find Gramma Dorothy another golf cart, please let us know.”
