A family moved back to the Bay Area from out of state and just two days later, their rental truck with nearly all of their belongings was gone.
Stacy, who asked KTVU not to give her last name, said it was stolen and torched while they were waiting to move into their new home.
She said she was in a state of panic. But now, she said she's determined to make their new home feel like home because she still has what matters most-her family."Whoever stole the truck decided to burn everything, so we wouldn't have anything to salvage," said Stacy. She said most of their belongings were on that truck including appliances, electronics and irreplaceable, sentimental items.
Stacy says compounding her heartache was that someone had set it on fire.... destroying nearly everything inside.The family's new home in El Sobrante is sparsely furnished with furniture gifted by relatives and friends.But she said the loss that hurts are framed photos and other sentimental items belonging to her four children ages, 3 to 17.Mom said she wants whoever stole the truck and burned it, caught and held accountable. But she's now focused on healing from the loss.
She said she and her family are resilient and that they are going to move pass the loss of material things.
