Thieves take cards for troops from Albuquerque woman’s car
An Albuquerque woman says the only thing thieves stole from her car was a box containing hundreds of holiday letters for troops overseas.
Carol Sanchez tells KRQE-TV the theft happened Friday night while she was eating dinner with a friend at a restaurant.
Sanchez says she returned to her car to find a window completely shattered and the box gone.
Sanchez says her friend, a teacher, had given them to her.
Sanchez is a member of the Rio Grande Valley Blue Star Mothers. The organization makes care packages for troops four times year.
The restaurant’s surveillance cameras were unable to capture the theft.
Sanchez says she has already heard from people in the community who have promised to write more letters.
