Legally Blind Woman loses Special Reader Device attached to Nokia Cell Phone
Clackamas County, Clackamas Town Center, Clackamas, Oregon
On Friday evening July 9, 2010 at about 6:30 p.m. Sherena Meagher-Osteen 60 years old of Milwaukie, OR, left her cellular telephone in the Women's Restroom at the Clackamas Town Center Mall, south of the City of Portland. When she returned to the public restroom located in the lower level of the Clackamas Town Center she learned that someone had stolen her mislaid cellular phone. Some people are not aware that the taking of mislaid property is considered theft; there is no "finder's keepers."
The cellular phone is very unique; the Nokia model N82 silver in color has a KNFB reader attached. Mrs. Meagher-Osteen is legally blind and needs the assistance of the KNFB reader to overcome her visual limitations. Mrs. Meagher-Osteen uses the KNFB reader to scan printed text. The KNFB reader then translates the written text into a verbal output that allows Mrs. Meagher-Osteen to overcome her blindness.
According to Mrs. Meagher-Osteen there were other women present in the restroom at the time that she mislaid the Nokia cellular phone and attached KNFB reader.
Anyone with information about this theft of Mrs. Meagher-Osteen's mislaid cellular phone is encouraged to please contact the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
