Mother begs thief: Please return memory card, memories
“... I’m desperate, that’s why I’m writing this ...”
Miana Jones, mother of two, e-mailed the Journal Star the other day to ask for help.
Someone stole her camera. And she wants its memory card back because it holds photos and videos that can’t be replaced.
Like daughter McKenna’s first steps.
The baby wore just a diaper. She pulled herself up to stand and looked around the apartment as if she wanted to take off somewhere.
Miana grabbed the camera just in time and caught it on video. (The camera is a Kodak EasyShare, which takes photos and videos.)
Like daughter Lena’s hiphop dance recital.
The 6-year-old wore a little black skirt and a jacket with lipsticks all over it and danced to Lil Mama’s “Lip Gloss.” At the end, all the kids gave flowers to their moms.
Like Miana crying and hugging Lena after that recital.
Like all the other footage and photos from the past few months — birthday parties, Lena’s preschool graduation, the girls singing the ABC song, Father’s Day ...
Miana Jones wants to get a message to the person who took the camera: Forget the camera. Just return the memory card. Please.
“Just drop it off at my door and run.”
5510 Union Hill Road, No. 405.
Or mail it.
Keep the camera.
She won’t press charges.
She left the camera in the center console of her car, which was parked outside her apartment in south Lincoln. She’d left the doors unlocked.
“It’s kind of killing me that it’s gone. I just keep thinking about it. God, I had her first steps on it, and it’s gone ...”
She repeats: It’s not the camera she wants. It’s the memory card.
And the memories.
