Hello kind people of Seattle. I hope this post doesn’t get deleted as we’re trying to exhaust every avenue to try and recover some irreplaceable items taken from my wife’s car Wednesday night (April 22). My wife had moved to Seattle in early March to take a chance on a job and find herself in the process (we have been separated a bit over a year, but that is irrelevant to the post). The job that she was tentatively offered ended up falling through and she decided to move back across the county where she has family and support. She had packed up her car Wednesday evening with most everything she had taken with her, and at some point overnight, someone had smashed the passenger side window and taken all the things in arms reach. There were some items of value taken, but the most devastating loss was the tote that was taken from the passenger floorboard…this tote contained the ashes of our recently departed Chihuahua “Tia”, a plaster cast of her paws, a “cuddle clone” stuffed animal I had made for her, numerous photos and paintings of Tia and a blanket with a picture of our little girl across the entirety of it. These items are of no value to anyone save us…and for us these items are irreplaceable and priceless. The ashes were in a brown wooden box with a gold nameplate saying “Tia”. The plaster cast of her paws is in a dark blue leather “oyster” style case also with “Tia” on the nameplate. The stuffed animal was made to look like her from photos I had submitted…the name “Tia” is on the tag. The blanket is approx 8’x8′ with a picture of Tia across the entirety of the blankets area. I’ll post a couple pictures as well if it will allow me to upload them with the post…if not I’ll reply with them Our biggest fear is that these items were discarded when it became apparent that they couldn’t be sold for fast cash and they ended up in a trash bin somewhere. My wife had to leave Seattle this morning without our girl so the only hope we have of ever recovering these items is the kindness of strangers and honestly a miracle. One other thing that was taken that would stand out is her disc golf bag and approximately 25 discs…all with her name (Holly) and number on them (NC area code 336)…the bag looks like a watermelon, but aside from that there is nothing remarkable about it…I’ve been calling around to places like pawn shops and the play it again sports in Seattle…trying to see if these items are there, so I can give the police department somewhere to look in hopes of finding the items we care about. I apologize if this post is not exactly in line with the community guidelines, I did attempt to get it cleared by messaging the mods…but given the time sensitive nature, I am asking forgiveness rather than receiving permission. Thank you so much for reading and for keeping an eye out for these very special items…if you have any info, please DM and I’ll respond ASAP. ❤️ submitted by /u/Fantastic_Novel9527 |
