This is what I found on my road, dumped last night. I found some canceled checks & did a "find a person search" with not much luck other than the person(s) lived in TX. Today, after the deputy took pics and did a report, I kinda glanced back through the stuff & found more canceled checks with another name. Came home and did another search and bingo!! I doubled checked in the phone book & the number matched to a lady living in a town about 8 miles away. I called the number, the lady who answered was the mother of the name on the checks, she stated that was her daughter's name. I explained what I had found and she told me the names on the other checks were hers and her husband. Found out he died 2 years ago of cancer and she moved here to be with her daughter. When I described some of the contents thrown out, she said those things were in a storage warehouse. About an hour later she, her daughter & grandson came to pick up their stuff, she called me when they reached the area. When I got down there, the daughter was sitting on the ground crying, saying "these were my mom & dad's belongings, how can people do such a thing?" There were older watches, gems, crystal & rock collection, owl collection, old fishing lures, to name a few & a lot of paperwork. What you see in the picture of the empty medicine bottles, is what the deputy took pictures of cause of the type of prescription used for cancer patients, but that same drug is a biggie for dopers.
Before the owners came out, they had stopped by the storage unit to find out it was broken into and more stuff were missing. What the robbers dumped was no value to them. They offered to give me some money for calling them, but I didn't accept it. But, I did get some very nice hugs. These items were sentimental and could not be replaced.
I did get a description of the vehicle and the boys in it, so I hope that helps the police investigation.
