A bride's wedding gown stolen on the morning of her wedding.
Last Sunday, a Washington-based bride-to-be (her name was withheld for privacy) was inside her home preparing for her ceremony on the morning of her wedding, when someone broke into her car and stole her wedding dress, among other belongings.
Panicked, the woman called 911 to report the crime and Candice (she declined to provide her last name), a dispatcher at Valley Communications, the local 911 center, answered the call. “We deal with theft calls every day but this one really touched me,” Candice, 28, told Yahoo! Shine. “I handled the situation as I normally would, but inside, I really sympathized. I couldn’t imagine someone stealing my wedding dress. All I kept thinking was, ‘I have a wedding dress. Maybe she could wear that.’”
By the time Candice had gotten off the phone, she had made her decision: “I wanted her to wear my wedding dress.” So, after getting her supervisor's approval (and with no idea of the woman’s weight, height, or personal taste), Candice asked the responding officer to offer the woman the dress that Candice had worn on her own wedding day 18 months earlier.
