A Denver family who had traditional, handmade Osage clothing stolen along with their SUV have recovered the vehicle and precious items.
Aurora police found the Honda SUV parked on a street Thursday afternoon and the vehicle was impounded, according to the Jacobs family.
On Friday, after a long and anxious night, Jan and Ben Jacobs were able to claim the Honda and determine that suitcases filled with family-made clothing passed down through generations were intact.after Jan Jacobs embarked on a 12-hour drive back from Oklahoma to attend Osage I’nlonshka ceremonial dances. The SUV’s trunk contained suitcases of the traditional Osage clothes.
“While the car was certainly rummaged through and while there were things stolen from the vehicle, the items of most importance remained, largely untouched,” the family said in a news release. “Thankfully, everything of importance was still in the car.” Jan and Ben Jacobs are co-owners of Tocabe: American Indian Eatery, 3536 W. 44th Ave., Denver. They celebrated the return of their “family treasures” on Friday.
“While the thought of the potential loss was unfathomable, their gratitude for the safe return of these heirlooms is immeasurable,” the release said.
