“If they are offering you a blue Motorola G8 cell phone with a transparent case, it has this photo as a wallpaper, please contact me,” says the publication made by Lourde Morales on Facebook and accompanied the post with a photograph of her grandfather, who passed away months ago.
The desperate search for “Luli” and her mother, Julia Coronel, began in the last hours of Thursday. Mother and daughter were heading towards the downtown area aboard a motorcycle along Islas Malvinas street. Upon reaching the intersection with Lugones Avenue, two individuals who were traveling in a Honda Biz approached them.
Julia, who was driving the vehicle, thought that the strangers were trying to hit her, so she slowed down the vehicle. The thieves, without saying a word, “stuck” to them and snatched the cell phone that the driver was carrying among her belongings. Then they started to run away.
In the midst of her desperation, Julia began to chase the criminals, while Lourdes threw her helmet at them. But nothing prevented the thieves from fleeing and lost sight of them in a troubled area.
Julia, 40 years old and residing in the Bosco III neighborhood, suffered great anguish due to the seizure of her cell phone. Not because of the technological device stolen from her, but because of the content that she had stored and she treasured.
About six months ago, Pedro Antonio Coronel died from an illness he suffered from. Pedro was Julia’s father and Lourdes’s grandfather. The family was always very close and they shared dozens of happy moments every day.
As Lourdes recalls in dialogue with Nuevo Diario, Julia had images of the time they spent in isolation on her cell phone; the Sundays that they shared with the family, and the afternoons that they lived between laughter and talks”.
“My grandfather was a very good man, whom everyone loved. After his death, my mother fell into a depression and was getting ahead, ”revealed the young daughter of the victim, who filed the corresponding criminal complaint for robbery at Community Police Station No. 4.
At the time he added: “Please, if someone has information about the cell phone, we don’t care about the device, but about the photos and videos of my grandfather who is dead. This is very painful for us, because they were the memories of my grandfather, who unfortunately we no longer have with us.
Through social networks, the Coronel Morales family began the intense and distressing search for the stolen cell phone to recover Pedro’s memories. For any information, you can contact Lourdes at number 385154063152.
