Thief takes trailer with Marine’s belongings
By Esteban Parra - Gannett News Service
Posted : Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 16:27:21 EDT

A Marine getting ready to be deployed to Iraq next week woke up in North Carolina on Monday morning to be told the bulk of his belongings had been stolen more than 400 miles away in a Talleyville parking lot.

A U-Haul containing the possessions of Marine Cpl. Robert Lamica, who is preparing to return to the Persian Gulf next week, was stolen when his father stopped for the night at the Quality Inn, 4000 Concord Pike, state police said. He was taking the trailer from Camp Lejeune, near Jacksonville, N.C., to Northampton, Mass., where Lamica and his wife, Brandy, eventually plan to move.

The stolen items — valued at about $10,000 — include Lamica’s service dress blues, ribbons, medals and even his Marine sword that was used to cut the couple’s wedding cake last February.

In addition to losing his belongings, Lamica also will lose some of the time remaining with his wife before he returns to Iraq.

“Spending our last week together having to take care of this wasn’t by any means ideal,” Lamica said when contacted Tuesday at Camp Lejeune. “We planned to pretty much just spend time with each other, relaxing and getting some good memories in before I go.”

Now, he said, his wife will have to devote time to tasks like canceling credit cards and getting new bank accounts.

3. "spend time with each other ...getting some good memories"
Isn't that a nice euphemism.
