Albuquerque, NM, High School senior's prized possession stolen

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On Saturday night, thieves smashed in the windows of two cars in the South Valley. They made off with high school students’ backpacks, homework and a prized possession.

“At first I thought it was just my purse and my purse can be replaced,” said Albuquerque High School senior, Jacquelynne Sabedra.

A quick glance under the seats and to the back of the car confirmed that the thieves got away with everything, including Sabedra’s $700 Letterman jacket.

The jacket was lined with tokens of everything Sabedra has accomplished in the last four years.
It’s something she worked years for.
“For me to actually earn all the letters and patches and everything it took hard work,” said Sabedra.
