This Young Couple Was Making A Move Across The Country When They Woke Up On Christmas Day And Found Out That Everything They Owned Had Been Stolen
Albuquerque, New Mexico. One week ago today, a young couple named Evan Seip and Amanda Bazzano was driving across the country together with everything that they owned.
Evan and Amanda left their home in Connecticut to move to California so that Evan could continue serving in the US Army while also being able to attend a language institute located in Monterey, California.
Just before Christmas, the couple had made it to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and so they stopped to stay in a nearby hotel.
When they woke up on Christmas morning, Evan and Amanda checked out of the hotel they had been staying at and walked out to the parking lot to find that everything they owned had been stolen.
Someone stole their truck, which had a U-Haul trailer of their personal items attached to it, right out of the hotel parking lot.
“I know the holidays just passed and that there is probably little to spare, but I’m hoping to raise a little money to help Evan and Amanda get started with rebuilding in their new home,” Evan’s sister Linley wrote on a GoFundMe page.
“They are both so humble and live well within their means (and for those that know Evan… very frugally!). Literally everything except their overnight bags that came into the hotel with them- including sentimental items and their one vehicle- were stolen.”
“While it is just stuff, and we know they’re going to be okay, we are hoping to help them replace some items that will help them feel comfort in their new home.”

Sadly, on December 26th, a tow truck driver came across Evan and Amanda’s U-Haul along a roadside, and nothing inside was really salvageable.
“The lock was broken, and most everything was stolen, damaged, or strewn about in the sand,” Linley explained.
“It was really hard for Ev and Amanda to look through the photos- they worked so hard for all of their belongings, and to see them carelessly tossed around was difficult.”

“A few things might be salvageable, like a tabletop that had sentimental value, but not much else is able to be recovered.”
Linley noted that Evan’s truck is still nowhere to be found and that it most likely will never be recovered.
