Security video showed the theft of a truck, restored for a teen with cancer, near Wintrust Sports Complex. Chicago Police Department is investigating.

Tire tracks were evidence of how thieves, seen in a security video, somehow escaped with Jacob's restored 2002 Ford F-250 Sunday when he was inside Bedford Park's new Wintrust Sports Complex.

Jamie's father willed the truck to his grandson. Three years later, in 2018, as a freshman, he came down with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a cancer that metastasized in his brain. The Make-A-Wish foundation arranged last summer for the truck's restoration. It was a vehicle the grandfather, a construction worker, would sit in when he was terminally ill just before Jacob's health challenges.

"It really hit me differently when I saw how they were all reacting to it," Jacob said."Not only my family but my friends, and everybody else, even people that I don't know, they were contacting me and everybody is there for me."
