Burglar steals Dallas family's stillborn baby memory box; reward offered

DALLAS (KFMS) -- A North Dallas family is hoping someone finds a very personal item after their home was burglarized last week.

Last Wednesday, someone broke into their home and stole their stillborn daughter's memory box.

"I have two pictures of my daughter that are in there, and then I have the ultrasounds, and then I have her footprints, and her lock of hair, and that's all I have of her in this world," Mona Bagrodia said.

After 18 months of grieving, their pain worsened this past week. The break-in happened while they were away at a work event Aditya had. The thief stole a purse, cash, a passport and the memory box.

“The box had items that are literally irreplaceable,” Aditya said. “We just really want our box back, and it's important for us to have those memories of our daughter.”

The Bagrodias are offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the memory box.

“That box has no monetary value,” Mona said. “I don't care about any of the other things that they took, I really just want that box back.”
