Another Couple Moves To Portland, Gets Everything Stolen From Hotel

GRESHAM, OR — A couple from California moving to the Portland area stopped at a hotel in Troutdale before finishing their trek to Corbett. As they slept, thieves stole their U-Haul truck with all their possessions, along with an attached trailer carrying their Mazda Miata.

The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office sent deputies to the hotel in the 1000 block of Northwest Graham Road just after 4 a.m., the office said.

Deputies had been at the same hotel in February when a couple moving from Arizona also had possessions stolen while they slept, the sheriff's office said. Neither couple was identified.

In the most recent theft, the sheriff's office described the stolen U-Haul as a 15-foot truck with an ash and blue underwater map of he Atlantic Ocean painted on its side, along with the word "Virginia."

The truck has an Arizona license plate with the number AJ28920. The office said the Miata is dark green with a yellow spoiler and tan convertible roof and a California plate with the number 7ZKC265.

Deputies said that the U-Haul held a combination of household items such as clothes, tools, workout equipment and furniture, along with sentimental items such as artwork, family photos and more.

The sheriff's office asked anyone with information about the theft to call the nonemergency line, 503-823-3333, and refer to Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office report number 22-15381.

If someone is in the truck, call 911.
