Find Our Stuff

A family that moved to Kingston from Calgary is asking for help in finding their household goods.  Lisa Egginton says the man they hired as a mover hid all of their possessions after getting into a dispute over money.  He’s been charged by Kingston police with threatening to kill the family.

Egginton says the man was driving a white Ford F350 with a 37 foot black enclosed trailer that had Alberta license plates.  She believes he hid their possessions in a storage facility in the Kingston area.

Anyone with information about where the families belonging are is being asked to contact Kingston Police.
