HELP us Students! Stolen items sold to trucker!

[rachel86]

Hey all, my brother and I really need your help:

I am not a trucker, but a student traveling in San Francisco from Michigan with my brother. While here, just this past Monday, the 20th, our car was robbed of all our belongings: clothing, text books, money,typewriter, skateboard, and mostly, our camera equiptment. We are devestated and broke and trying to get home to Michigan.

Today we got an anonymous/restricted phone call from a trucker almost to Illinois saying that an african american man sold him alllllll of our photo equiptment (this consisted of about 6 cameras, film, negatives, camera bags, etc.) for very cheap. He didn't want to get "involved" which is fair, and confidential is fine.

However, before we got anywhere in the conversation, his phone cut out/he hung up...not sure. We really just want our photos back, those are irreplaceable! We don't know where this driver got this stuff or when, but we wanted to get the message out if anyone else was approached by this guy if they could call the cops or let us know where you saw him, even if confidential!!!! We aren't after this trucker, either, we would just like to try to stop the thief/get our photos back!

At the time, the trucker said this african american male was wearing a purple shirt saying THREEONETHREE in yellow letters (one of my brother's shirts!!) and possibly between California and Illinois (looooong distance I know!) The rest of the stuff he took of ours included a world industries skateboard, a green army parka with Vespa/mod patches, an old, portable manual blue typewriter in a blue case/black stripe, a blue Samsonite portable vanity box, an unused air mattress, photo textbooks, philosophy books...so much stuff! A red, white, blue Rossignal bag full of clothing...

Anyways, if anyone has seen him/offered stuff by him/has information/etc. we would greatly appreciate it. We are just two broke students really heartbroken. We were trying to start a new life in San Fran and it just wasn't working for us, and then we lost everything. Any contact info can be anonymous, or just drop stuff at a police station with a note or ANYTHING. Please help get the word out, we are desperate! Thank you!!!!! Much love and blessings!

Good luck friends.

Should have kept your belongings out of view and or doors locked. Sounds like the person that was selling your valuables was a vagrant. Maybe you should have not been in the area you were in. If all of my assumptions are wrong then file the claim under your insurance company pay your deductible and move on.

Goodluck
