Reward for returned items

Offering a $100 reward. Two plastic containers were taken from a yard on Dixie Street in Cape Girardeau on June 19. A white male driving an early '90s maroon station wagon and accompanied by a young boy was pulling a fenced trailer and must have mistaken the items as free for the taking. They were actually some of my most prized possessions waiting to be packed in my car.

I have been a music teacher at Blanchard Elementary School, and the containers contained the programs I had put together over the last 12 years, which are irreplaceable, along with books, videos, puppets and other teaching items.

I would be so very grateful for the return of these items. They can be returned to Hutson's Fine Furniture on Main Street, no questions asked, where a $100 cash reward will be waiting, or the items can be taken back to the yard on Dixie Street. I remain ever hopeful.
