A Niagara woman is asking for help finding her dead aunt’s belongings. She’s posted an ad on Kijiji, saying a Niagara Falls landlord threw out all of her stuff shortly after she died and most of it had been rummaged through.

50 year old Karen Stewart died on Monday after struggling with addiction. She lived in an apartment in a house on Ryerson Crescent in Niagara Falls and her family says when they went there the next day her belongings were out on the curb. They went through the bags to see what could be salvaged but most of it had already been taken. “Nothing of value was left no memories… a cedar chest that my aunt had scrimped and saved for for so long to get her daughter.”

It’s that cedar chest they desperately want back and they’ve posted an ad on Kijiji begging for it to be returned and offering a reward.
