A Molalla woman told police that she lost everything she owned when a trailer containing all her possessions was stolen from the Mathias Road house where she was staying with a friend.
Dana Pierce, 40, had packed all of her possessions into a white six-by-12 foot Wells Cargo trailer and was ready to move to a new home when an unkown person made off with the trailer and its contents.
“Everything that meant anything to me was in there,” Pierce said; including her son’s high school wrestling metals, her daughter’s collection of porcelain dolls; her father’s machete from World War II; and a hand carved wooden hope chest Pierce’s grandfather brought back from Thailand after World War I.
“My mom died last year, up in Colton, and she had a Buddy Holly collection with his whole life story and every song he ever wrote,” Pierce said. “She wanted me to have it and pass it on to my kids.”
That collection is gone, she said, along with Pierce’s father’s collection of Frank Sinatra records and a jewelry box he brought home from Japan after the war. The box contained a rare ivory necklace with a rose pendant and a set of diamond earrings and necklace.
Other, more practical items also disappeared, Pierce said, including a file cabinet with social security cards and birth certificates for her three grown children.
The CCSO report noted that Pierce was uninsured and has no criminal record.
“I really never thought about getting insurance on the trailer, because I never kept anything in it until now,” she said.
Pierce, who reported the theft to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office today, said she believed it occurred some time between Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night, when she and the residents of the property were gone.
“It just happened to be that everyone was gone at the same time,” Pierce said. “It’s kind of odd, like someone was watching the place.”
CCSO is investigating the theft. For her part, Pierce said she is more interested in retrieving the stolen item than finding the culprit.
“At this point, I don’t even really care about the trailer,” she said. “They can have it. I just want my belongings back.”
To report information relating to the incident, call the CCSO tip line at 503-723-4949.
