INDIANAPOLIS -- The Vietnam War veteran whose trailer was stolen earlier this week, was presented a new one by a local organization Tuesday evening.

Warrior Breed MC, a group that helps veterans in need, gave 69-year-old disabled veteran Dave Spaulding a new trailer so he can transport his scooter. 

Spaulding uses a terrain scooter to get around as he suffers from peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, and has some shrapnel in his legs.

The war veteran also received a gas card and Walmart gift card from the organization.
