WILMINGTON — Thanks to the Wilmington Police Department, a local woman has been reunited with a designer scarf that had been missing for more than a week.
On the evening of Saturday, March 28, a woman called the Wilmington Police Department to report that she had left her scarf, which had a value of $600, at a Dunkin’ location earlier that morning. The scarf also holds sentimental value because it was a birthday gift from her son that he bought with his own money from his first high school job. She said the scarf carried many special memories for her family.
The woman said that she returned to the Dunkin’ later, but that no staff members had reported seeing it.
After reviewing security footage, it was determined that another patron had taken the scarf.
The woman made a post in the Wilmington Community Board Facebook group seeking assistance. On Tuesday, April 7, 10 days later, an individual who saw the Facebook post turned the scarf in to Wilmington Police.
Det. Daryl Ceruolo notified the woman, who immediately responded to the station to pick it up.
After being reunited with her scarf, the woman tearfully expressed her gratitude to Wilmington Police and the Wilmington community.
“I’m overjoyed to share that my beloved scarf has been found! Thanks to the incredible work of our local detectives and officers, its safely back with me,” she wrote in a post on her Facebook account. “I am so grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. A special thank you to the first officer who took my case and the detective who helped recover it. Your persistence and care went above and beyond — I can’t thank you enough!”
