Restore Joy: Replace Stolen Switch for Young Boy

Help Us Replace My Son’s Stolen Backpack and Switch

Hello everyone,

I never imagined I’d be creating this, but after several suggestions, I’ve decided to give it a try. Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but sometimes, life leaves us with little choice.

As many of you know, my 9-year-old son’s backpack was stolen six days ago at Smith’s in Provo. Inside it was his beloved Nintendo Switch, a gift from Santa last year, along with over $100 worth of brand-new games. He’s heartbroken, and it’s been a tough lesson for him about the unfortunate realities of the world.

I’ve filed a report with the Provo Police Department (Case #2SPR00538), but so far, there hasn’t been much progress.

While a Switch might not seem like a big deal to some, for my son, it was a cherished possession—something special that he knew we couldn’t easily replace.
