Tiffany Enriquez packed up the chapters of her family's story.
Photo albums. Wedding keepsakes. Letters and journals and newspaper clippings about the father she lost when she was 8 years old. All tucked inside two black plastic milk crates for Sunday's move.
They meant everything to the Enriquez family.
They were worth nothing to the thief who stole them.
"Wedding album, family photo album … Pretty much all my family's memorabilia," said Enriquez, who forgot to lock her car after she placed the two black plastic milk crates inside. When she came back to her vehicle in the Corcoran neighborhood in south Minneapolis, the crates and their cargo were gone.
She's hoping the thief might have dumped those two plastic crates and their treasures somewhere around town. She's hoping someone will read these words and help bring them home.
"There was nothing of value to the person who grabbed them, so I'm desperately hoping they were left in an alley or elsewhere to be found," she wrote in an email asking for help. "If we can spread the word far enough I feel hopeful someone will notice and reach out."
Among the photos and albums were the papers of her late father, Carlos Enriquez, a student activist at the University of Minnesota who died in 1987.
