Thief Makes Off With Mementos Of Concord Woman's Deceased Son

CONCORD (CBS SF) - A Concord woman is asking the burglar who broke into her home and stole her jewelry box to return irreplaceable artifacts from her deceased son.

Claycord.com first reported that the woman posted a sign near her Clayton Rd. home asking for the return of the items following the break-in Monday.

"My jewelry box was taken that contains no valuable real jewelry, but it does contain sentimental items. I lost my seven year old son to cancer four years ago and I kept a clipping from his last haircut and his first missing tooth," the woman wrote to Claycoard. "I also kept a pin/handkerchief from my husband's late grandmother. I am heartbroken over the loss of these items, they are invaluable, they are my treasures."

She's asking that the items be returned, no questions asked.
