Lost cane (Grabacane) Please please please

Post by rocnjbarr2152 » Mon Sep 12, 2016 8:22 pm

I really need my cane i can't walk far without it and this one was custom made in virginia so i can use it as a grabber and pick up moop. I left it at the 6 or 7 and L bathrooms monday night during exodus so I couldn't turn around and go get it. it is really important to me as I am handicapped and the best way I can contribute to my community is mooping. it has a hand brake lever that closes a claw on the bottom to pick up stuff. It is black and 40 inches tall, shaped like a 7.

Hope you find it, wonder if the people who clean the stalls have it? Here's their phone number:
Contact United Site Services at 1-775-826-5646, in Reno

Here also is Grab-a-Cane's Facebook page, he has a neat invention and wanted to be on "Shark Tank," he says they cost $100 and you can order one through his facebook page:

I'm pretty sure I have your cane. It was found around 4:30 and D on Tuesday after the burn, while I was searching for my stolen bike during exodus. It is exactly like you described, but I don't think it works, looks like the cable is loose. Please let me know how I can get it back to you.

This one is in rough shape, foam handle is damaged, grabber is not working. It has the grab-a-cane sticker, but it's up top near the handle.

After looking at your photo, this is not the same one. This one has a 3 piece shaft, your photo appears to be 2 piece. Am I correct?

I think that's it, the person who makes them probably improved the model, the person who lost it sent me a PM yesterday, he'll be really happy! He also said in the PM that it was run over by a mutant vehicle at a local burn and he had it repaired.

It does look like it was run over. I'd be happy to ship it to the owner if I can get a mailing address.
