EVERETT, Wash. — The Everett Police Department is asking for the public’s help to find a stolen U-Haul box truck  that contains all of a woman’s possessions. Her car was stolen as well.

Kristen Shaulis of Illinois is moving from Illinois to Alaska for a new job.

On Wednesday night, the 39-year-old woman stopped in Everett at the Best Western Hotel at 2800 Pacific Avenue. When she went outside Thursday morning, she discovered the U-Haul and car dolly, with her vehicle, had been stolen, according Everett police.

Everything she owned is inside the U-Haul.

Detectives with the Everett Police Department Forensics Imaging Unit are helping with the investigation and have retrieved video surveillance of the incident.

The surveillance showed that about 6:50 a.m. Thursday, a dark-colored Jeep Commander was seen driving up to the U-Haul.  A person got out of the passenger side, opened the U-Haul door, got into the truck and drove off.

The U-Haul is a 14-foot box truck with an Arizona license plate AE56627 pulling a car dolly trailer. The dolly trailer has Virginia license plate 15567R and is carrying a black 1999 Chrysler Town and County minivan with an Illinois license plate R679783.
