The mother of four told FOX 11 reporter Leah Uko that her ex-husband called her at 7 a.m. to tell her the $2,500 trailer he had just purchased and drove to Santa Ana from Florida was gone. “At first I thought, you know, he was playing around. And when I jumped out of the bed and ran downstairs, it was gone.” A neighbor recorded surveillance footage from someone else’s phone.

Carla Beaty hopes the thieves return her belongings which include her kids’ birth certificates, baby pictures, her husband's tools, and her eldest son's bed and memorabilia from high school.
