Somebody should have warned them that Minneapolis is a rough place these days.
You don't say?
From Alpha News:
Myah Casey and Lindsey Alger recently woke up to discover their U-Haul was stolen after moving from La Crosse, Wis., to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
After a long day of moving boxes and driving the 160 miles to Minneapolis, Casey and Alger locked the U-Haul and brought the keys inside for the night. That night, the entire U-Haul vanished between the hours of 4:47 and 5:47 a.m., according to the footage outside their new residence. This theft left the couple with nothing but the clothes they wore during the moving process.
If only there were clues that they might encounter criminals!
The theft matches with an increase in auto theft rates seen in Minneapolis since the start of 2026. According to a Crime Watch report, at least nine auto thefts occurred within a span of five hours on June 2. And since the beginning of the year, over 5,200 theft offenses have been reported in Minneapolis, according to the city's crime dashboard. Additionally, the city has seen 2,643 motor vehicle thefts this year, an increase of 24% over the same period last year.
According to a GoFundMe set up for the couple, they had hoped moving to crime-ridden, migrant-infested Minneapolis would give them a bright future:
Myah and Lindsey just moved to Minneapolis from La Crosse, hoping for a fresh start.
Well, there's no fresher start than kicking off life in a new city with nothing but the clothes on your back.
The U-Haul was later found, but it was completely empty. After the fundraiser hit its target amount, a thank-you update was added:
Thank you, everyone, for all of your outreach and support! We have received more donations than we ever imagined we would. This was created for those close to us, but the help from the community has been astonishing. They have what's needed to cover all of their essentials, and at this point, any extra would be covering replacing non-necessities. Thank you, everyone, so much! People are good.
"People are good."
Except for the Minneapolis criminals who robbed you blind of every belonging you had.
