Friday 18 November 2022 06:59 AM Canadian newlywed has her wedding dress STOLEN during honeymoon to crime-ridden ... trends now
A newlywed's honeymoon was ruined after a brazen thief stole the couple's wedding attire and passports out of their car in crime-ridden Portland.
Abby Paterson and David De Leon were on their way back home to Vancouver, British Colombia when they decided to stay the night on Monday at the Worldmark Waterfront Hotel in downtown Portland for what they called a 'mini-moon.'
The couple had gotten married in Napa, California last weekend and decided to make an adventure of their ride back home. But the next day, the pair woke up to find their SUV window shattered.
'I saw the window shattered, and I just, my stomach just sank,' Paterson told Koin news. 'The heartbreak on our last day of our little mini-moon. It's really upsetting that it essentially ruined our wedding weekend.'
Paterson's wedding dress had been stolen, along with her husband's about $500 blazer, their passports and an Apple laptop.
Homelessness and crime in Portland exploded over the past two years since the civil unrest brought about by the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
