FORT WORTH (CBS11) - Home security cameras captured thieves stealing a family's heirlooms from a front patio in Fort Worth.
Susan, who asked we not use her last name, says she inherited a pair of distinctive chairs, made from tractor parts, from her grandmother who passed away a year and a half ago.
"I remember growing up and playing on them as a kid," she said.
She noticed them missing Thursday and found security video of the theft.
"I was heart-broken. It took me a while to get to a place where I could really stomach it," she said.
The family posted the video on Facebook.
In four days, they've been viewed more than 800,000 times.
"We've just been blown away with the attention," said her husband Charles.
The family says they have received a few leads and remain hopeful.
One thing's for sure, if the chairs are returned, they won't be going back on the front porch.
"No. I'm putting them in the backyard!" laughs Susan.
If you have any information on the crime, call Fort Worth Police.
