HEARTLESS thieves have stolen the only enjoyment disabled teenager Zak Touilii has in his life - his PlayStation.
Born with the life-threatening illness duchenne muscular dystrophy, Zak, 14, has been confined to a wheelchair most of his life. His only enjoyment has been playing videogames with his mates, until thieves broke into his Wollongong home last week.
"Why did they have to do that?" he told The Daily Telegraph yesterday.
The new PlayStation 3 and games were given to him by the Make a Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to terminally ill children.
Yesterday, the foundation condemned the actions of the thieves, who also took jewellery and appliances.
Zak's mother Joanne Smith said she had never seen her son so devastated.
"He came flying out the front door and was just hysterical saying, 'Mum, they took my PlayStation'," she said.
"I wish those rotten bastards could have seen my son's face."
Zak's condition is an aggressive form of muscular dystrophy characterised by rapid degeneration of the muscles, eventually leading to paralysis and death.

A Poster on the N4G Forums has shown a picture showing PlayStation 2 titles on the PlayStation store. You can clearly see Metal Gear Solid 2 being priced at 12.99.
