KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are asking for the public’s help in recovering some stolen items with irreplaceable sentimental value.
A poem from a family’s late son, a silver medal of honour, and four silver bracelets were some of the items stolen from a truck on the 700-block of Arbutus Street. Police say the items were placed in the vehicle in an emergency evacuation bin and taken between July 27 and 29.
“What makes this situation even more heartbreaking is that the items were placed in the vehicle as part of an emergency evacuation plan so that the owner could protect them should a fire cause them to leave in a hurry,” Cst. Crystal Evelyn says. “Whoever stole the items needs to realize their monetary worth is nothing in comparison to their sentimental value. Please look deep into yourself and return them.”
A shiny black wooden box with a golden “J” on the front, as well as a blue box containing sentimental items associated to the family’s late son, were returned to the detachment recently and reunited with their owner.
