When Patrick Sweeney didn’t see his Dodge Charger Hellcat parked outside his apartment in Wilmington, he was hoping it had been towed.
Unfortunately, it hadn’t. It had been stolen.
He’s more upset about what’s in the trunk than the vehicle, WBZ reported
Sweeney, a Lawrence firefighter, says his turnout gear including a prized leather helmet – a gift from his uncle when he graduated the academy — was in the trunk.
“I also have my grandfather’s dog tag (engraved James Philip Sweeney) and my prayer card from when he passed away. It was just kind of an emotional thing for me to lose. That’s something you really can’t get back,” he said.
Sweeney said he desperately wants the items returned, no questions asked.
