Something Valuable
The thieves spotted the couple’s black Chevy Trailblazer and the U-Haul trailer attached to it and didn’t pass up the opportunity to steal it. They figured it’d be just another theft that they clearly are used to performing. They saw it sitting outside the hotel in New Mexico and figured a U-Haul being hauled across many states must have something valuable in it. They managed to break into the car and drive away, with the trailer still attached.

Driving a U-Haul is typically associated with a major life change. It’s known that someone taking a U-hail is either moving to a new place or carrying their belongings for some important reason. And this couple had a rather grim mission to carry out. Their journey was long and treacherous. The married couple that chose to remain anonymous was traveling from Oklahoma to Kirtland, New Mexico. At that point, driving along the New Mexico highway was becoming too much, and a stop at a local hotel was what they needed. But that decision to stop was a regrettable one.
