“I ran into the house. The first thing I noticed was in our bedroom, everything in drawers was on the floor.”

Sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. on Sept. 30, a thief or thieves used a crowbar to open a locked basement window and enter a Douglasdale home belonging to Jeff and his wife Ileane.

While laptops, cash, jewelry, electronics, luggage, and a purse were missing, the stolen item that most upset the Pfeifers had been parked in their garage.

The couple’s beloved grey 2004 Porsche Boxter S was gone.

“It’s not even so much the value of the car, the market value isn’t very high. It’s about the ties we have to it and the memories we’ve had,” said Ileane.

For years, Jeff dreamed of owning a Porsche and after working hard to save up, the couple purchased the car in 2004.
