A Michigan couple living in Omaha because the wife needs several transplants suffered another blow Wednesday when a thief stole their pickup.

"I need a liver, two kidneys, small bowel,” says Joni Dibble. “I have small bowel syndrome and a pancreas."

Dibble doesn't get around much on her own. When she eats, it's been intravenously. The method, called TPN, beat back her illness for 11 years, but time has forced Joni and her husband of 30 years to Omaha.

"The sooner you get there, the better off you are,” says Dan Dibble. She needs multiple transplants to survive and after Wednesday morning they also need a ride.

"I got upthis morning, had breakfast and got ready to take her to dialysis and there was a van parked where my truck had been,” says Dan. “It was gone."

Their forest green 1997 Chevy Silverado extended cab truck with a topper, bronze running boards and Michigan license plates, parked a few feet from their hotel room had been stolen.

"This has been a big kick,” says Joni. “It's devastated Dan and I. It's horrible to lose our transportation. If the pager goes off right now, we don't have a way to get to the hospital."

Dan, who carries the pager, has a plea for the thief. "Bring it back because my wife needs a set of wheels."

If Joni is able to get a transplant in the next two months, the couple would likely be here for six more months.

"I can't believe it,” says Joni. “Our truck, we saved and saved and saved."

"It's like being in the middle of a desert,” says Dan. “You're on your own. I have to depend on somebody or something. I can't afford to buy a vehicle right now."

If you see the pickup, call police. The Dibbles would be grateful.
