The thing is heavy and built just for Bonnie, so Crooks likely used the vehicle to haul it off quick. Now the family is stuck at home, no shopping runs, or outings possible. They had plans the next day but cut it short after just 40 minutes since Bonnie couldn't move around. She's heartbroken, couldn't even sleep that night without her routine comfort.
