Are you in an area with homeless people? In my neighborhood, there's a homeless guy named Mike. His wheelchair has been stolen 4 times in the last two months, and he can't walk without it. I was thinking it'd be cool if there was a municipal registration system for wheelchairs, like there are for bikes, that would work for homeless people. Just an idea. No clue how practical it'd be!

He can lean on a wall and sort of push himself along for a bit. But imagine "crawling" along a way, having to take a break every 10 or 20 feet, and then getting blocked by coming up to a window that you can't lean on. And then imagine someone stealing your wheelchair. Talk about messed up.
