NEED TO KNOW

  • Days before his daughter’s wedding, Richard Selby’s car was broken into as he walked her back home to her Boston apartment

  • A bag, which carried his laptop and “personal items” he wanted to gift his daughter, was stolen

  • The wedding took place on June 28, and the bag was not returned; he’s now offering a $4,000 reward

A father of the bride is trying to recover important “personal items” that were stolen from his car days before his daughter’s wedding.

Richard Selby traveled to Boston from California to be with his daughter before her Saturday, June 28 wedding. A few days before the big day, he parked his car on a local street around midnight local time and walked his daughter back to her apartment.

When he returned to the car, his back window was broken, according to reporting by CBS Boston. A backpack containing his laptop and “cherished family items” that he had planned to gift the bride had been stolen.

He and his daughter turned to TikTok to try and track down the missing items and to request local camera footage to try and find the thief.

“My dad’s car was broken into. My wedding is on Saturday. His items are in there, including his speech on his laptop,” the bride said in the video, which amassed more than 42,000 views within days.

Selby also described the situation as “tragic.”

“We’d really appreciate anyone’s help,” he said, adding, “Personal items in the backpack were taken from a car. We’re trying to find them.”

“Help us get the items back for my wedding so my dad can be the best father of the bride,” his daughter pleaded.

At the time, they were putting up signs informing people that they were offering a $2,000 reward for the return of the backpack, “no questions asked.”

Speaking to CBS Boston, Selby said that his family had raised the reward to $4,000 after his daughter’s wedding came and went without the backpack’s return.

“There’s a significant impact on me and my family. At the very beginning, it began to interfere with the wedding, okay? But I said, ‘We can’t let that happen. We need to focus on the wedding so that it can be a big success and somehow reach out to the broader community and ask for help here,” he told the outlet.

CBS Boston noted that the Boston Police Department has “several leads” in the case.
