A family is searching for a miracle after their trailer is stolen, inside are priceless memorabilia and memorabilia. Now, the family says, the thief is holding them for ransom. “He’s basically holding it hostage until we send him the money through the Cash App,” said Austin Hodges, who owns the trailer. The Hodges family treasures most: not their trailer but what’s inside. “It’s not about the trailer, it’s about the memory boxes that I can never replace,” Hodges said. “We had his first minor league uniform there, we had the robe he came home from the hospital, my christening gown that my daughter wore that I wanted her daughter to wear. Just all those precious memories, you’ll never get them back,” Hodges said. That’s when they received a suspicious text message. “They just said, ‘Hey,’ , we know where your trailer is” and my husband said, yes, sure you do. This is a scam,” Hodges said. “My husband was like, ‘If you really know where our trailer is, send me a picture.’ The guy sent us a photo of our trailer. “In exchange for the address, they gave the man $250.” We want to congratulate him for doing such a good deed. Hodges says that’s what he was doing, but the address never came. “Now, he is trying to blackmail us for more money. Robbed and scammed, the family feels violated. “He doesn’t care about the blue tricycle inside that his son. I learned to ride. It’s worthless. All of this is worthless to anyone other than us!” said Hodges.
