My girlfriend Alicia and I, planed to embark on our 1,000 mile, cross country drive to our new home in Portland, OR...
4:15-ish-am (45 minutes prior) while we were asleep;
A terrible human being broke into and stole our UHAUL TRUCK, with MY CAR a Honda Civic Hybrid in tow, and ALL of the contents. Absoluley EVERYTHING WE OWN was STOLEN from out front our home. Thus awaking my roomate but by then it was too late.. and UHAUL, even with insurance (which of course we had) covers NO THEFT to contents, believe it or not! but they DO NOT want to tell you that and expect you to read that fine print. And unfortunately we do not have homeowners or renters insurance.
The car has since been recovered, however $60k + worth of valueables in the truck are gone. Computers, Tvs, Furniture, Collectibles, Jewelry and LITERALLY everything we own was stolen from us.
We are still trying to make our way to Portland asap in which to move into our new place, however I literally don't even have a change of cloths, shoes, underwear or socks, everything ive ever worked for in my entire life is gone.. My only worldly possessions are my backpack with one of my computers in which I slept next to.
We are literally in one of the worst situation of ours lives and have lost so many irreplaceable items from traveling the world for my entire adult life. Unfortunately now we are now left to reacquire everything we've ever had throughout life, including all of the basic essentials, cloths for living in cold/rainy portland as well as work tools and computers etc.
Total losses are astronomical but anyone whom knows me, knows how hard i've worked for everything and unfortunately putting all our eggs in one basket has totally shattered our world.
Anything anyone can do to help us get back on our feet is more appreciated than you'll ever know. Happy Holidays and please be safe.
Love you all!
Sincerely,
Jared Pettinato & Alicia Shabra
