    Place an ad in the towns' newspaper asking that they return Blue's items. No questions asked. State that he died and you want his memory sticks back. Use a P.O. Box at your parent's town. So they can check it for you. Maybe someone will return it to you. It's worth a try. I am so sorry you were ripped off. I had my car stolen years ago and that was traumatic. Plus my mom's house burned down 2 weeks after she died so I never got any personal items of hers. Luckily my sister and I had taken the photo albums months before from her house. Thinking of you. Get one of those door alarms that sound off when the door is jingled. Also Beware of Dog signs help. Sending love.

    You missed the mark when you said this was your fault, but you nailed it when you said hindsight is 20/20. Sure, in hindsight it's easy to see things you could have done differently, and from a growth mindset perspective you can learn from that, but make no mistake about whose fault this is: this is 100% the fault of whoever intentionally broke in and took your stuff. It was not an accident; it was a crime.

      Came here to say this!! Dealing with this currently from someone who hacked into my incarcerated brothers accounts, wrote themselves checks from my brother's accounts, and tried to open credit cards in his name.
      It's good you filed a police report - keep the case number handy and call any banking institutions you use that may have had account info accessed (routing numbers, check books), call the big credit companies and have them freeze your credit, and keep in touch with the police department in the jurisdiction where this happened! Weekly if possible, they may have updates with newly found footage or reports of your items being resold online or in pawn shops. Also on that note, call local pawn shops in the area and notify them what items were stolen from you so that they will be aware if they see those items come into their stores.
      I'm so sorry this happened, and I'm so sorry you had to go through losing Blue again. I lost my soul cat to cancer February 29th this year and the grief is still so fresh. I still lose my composure every few days. I can't imagine losing the photos and videos I have of him. I pray that your grief can eventually soften and that you'll at least get your memories of him back somehow ❤

Don’t kick yourself about the insurance, they would have found a way not to pay anyway and you would be that much more behind for paying the premiums.

    Hey Ria! @roamingreckless I hope you see this. Please please please take a few days and go to pawn shops around the area, or any area with many pawn shops. You might have to drive all over NJ. I am from NJ and when I lived in Long Branch, my apartment was broken into and all my jewelry was stolen, including my mother’s favorite ring. I was devastated. Someone gave me the advice to look in pawn shops. On the 3rd pawn shop I went to in Long branch (Shelly’s Jewelers), I found some of my stuff. Unfortunately never found everything but was able to find a few sentimental items. Also, criminals are stupid. After calling the cops and cops speaking to Shelly, she said she knows who she bought the jewelry from and he had left his watch there for repair. When the store called him to pick up the watch, the police arrested him and he was put in jail. Do some leg work, have faith, and stay calm. I’m so sorry this happened to you. ❤

    I've had this happen to me multiple times throughout the years. It's one of the most violating experiences. To think that instead of working for your things, someone just wants to skip the effort and take yours. Make sure your car insurance covers the items inside your car. We can replace tangible items, but I really hope whomever reaps what they sow ten times forward for the items that you can't replace. My brother uses 360 cameras that send pings to his phone in real time whenever someone may bump his loads or his truck (long distance truck driver with expensive loads). I hate this happened to you, and I know you have the resilience to be stronger because of it. 💙

      I read they just evicted with an 60-day notice 40,000 illegals from the NY area (I can't remember which city they stated). This means no more FREE ride in the U.S.

    Ria, regarding your flea + tick purchase for Taz- I had to let you know my own German shepherd mix pup ended up in the hospital for 4 days + was diagnosed with AHDS after using a very similar “natural” spray. They contain lemongrass oil, which can be toxic to dogs and for some, cause very life threatening symptoms. I’ve worked in the pet industry for five years and still made this mistake. The BEST option will always be an oral flea prevention medication. I learned my lesson and never want any pups to go through what mine did so I have to spread the word. He is ABSOLUTELY my soul dog and I hug him extra tight now. I’m sorry about the break in, sending love to you and Taz!!

    I KNOWWW that violated feeling. I am so sorry this happened❤️ I know a lot about the psychology of thieves. They’re opportunists. Not skilled/intelligent professionals. If this vehicle has a window cracked and that vehicle doesn’t, they’ll skip the one with widows up. If this car has things laying around on the seat or dashboard and that one doesn’t, they’ll skip the one with nothing apparently in it. It’s that simple. Again I am SO sorry this happened. We love you and love following your journeys ☺️❤️ Keep a warm heart. The world is more full of love than not, as I know you know :)

    It means a great deal to me that you share your feelings (without oversharing) about losing Blue twice. Sharing our experiences of the good AND the heartbreak in life is what helps us feel a sense of connection. I appreciate that. And I think for many people it isn’t easy sharing about the unpleasant things. Especially the devastation of the loss of a dog. I really admire your courage.

We had just arrived and drove downtown for lunch and that’s when it happened. The cops basically said it happens all the time and they’ll probably never catch the tweakers. I feel your pain. I hope this helps and I hope this doesn’t discourage you from continuing your 50 state road trip. Love your videos and you just keep being you! Time will never let you forget Blue but time will let you forget this.

    It may help to check local pawn shops. Ultimately, most of the stolen gear will be pawned.

Personally, being a woman who is the same age as Maria, I would not have traveled to a state like NJ or NY, especially because I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my rig out of my sight knowing that all of my possessions are in there. Crime rates are up. Hostilities are up. And that's just a reality that we have to face. America is not safe anymore. It's no longer the country that grew up in. I mean, San Francisco anyone? People leave their car doors open, their windows down and they leave behind notes stating that the vehicle is open and that there's nothing in there worth taking or busting a window over. If the government and these people don't have our best interest at heart, then we need to act accordingly.

Even if it is not stolen -- someone is borrowing it - I can see the location on the app. I can monitor ambient temp inside the vehicle, battery voltage & remote start all very convenient if you have a pet in the hot summer. Mine was professionally installed. I highly recommend you get something similar with phone access & alerts.
