<human>: I don't know where to put this and it's a long story so please bare with me. I'm in the military and my wife and I just had to love cross country to San Diego, CA. We had to stay in a shitty area of town the first weekend we are here due to hotel availability. Her car was broken into last night/this morning. They stole 2 large suitcases a large beach bag and our air mattress (really wtf), anyway police were called because all of her Jewlery was in one of the suitcases (over $5k). The police are going to assign this to a detective which is great but I have little hope. Of everything missing I really only care about her stuffed dog that was in the suitcase. My wife has had it since she was a baby and is her only thing she has had since she was that young. She had a really terrible childhood and her stuffed dog has been there for her and means the world to her. She cried for days when we thought it was lost in our last move and now it is actually gone. I haven't pointed it out to her that it was in her suitcase yet because of how upset she is already. I want to know what else I can do to try and hunt down her stuff. I will do ANYTHING to get just that back for her. Any suggestions would help out so much. I sincerely thank any suggestions.
