A fun evening out for a 19-year-old 91原创 man has cost him dearly.

Danny Ott, who is deaf, was at Gabby鈥檚 night club in 91原创 City on April 21 when, around 10:30 p.m. he was feeling warm, so he took off his jacket and put it down.

鈥淚 was talking to someone and when I looked back, my jacket was gone,鈥� he said. Inside the jacket was his cochlear implant processor, special headphones, keys and phone charger.

鈥淏ut what鈥檚 really important to me is my cochlear implant processor and headphone. They鈥檙e very expensive to replace. The device itself cost about $12,000 US ($16,000 CAN.),鈥� he said.

鈥淚鈥檓 profoundly deaf in both ears since I was seven-years-old. I have cochlear implants, they鈥檙e like hearing aids, which help me hear.鈥�

鈥淲ithout the device, it affects my whole life because I can鈥檛 work and can鈥檛 communicate with anyone,鈥� said Ott.

鈥淚鈥檓 the only one who鈥檚 deaf in the family and no one know ASL (American Sign Language).

Ott works at Safeway in the deli department, but without his cochlear implant he can鈥檛 do his job. He鈥檚 hoping someone who was there at Gabby鈥檚 or anyone in the community who may have seen the equipment, will text him at 604-417-7017.
