LATROBE, Pa. — A vigilant worker found a jewelry box dumped in the trash at a local Sheetz.
Police believe it had been stolen and someone broke into the box.
"I believe the jewelry box was stolen from Someone's home. Whoever stole it would've went through it, pulled out all the good jewelry and dumped the jewelry box in the garbage,” Latrobe police detective John Sleasman said.

Investigators are now asking for the public’s help in trying to track down the rightful owner.
"I picked it up and I heard something metallic rustling around and something inside me said no you should look at this,” Sheetz employee Temperance Grace said. "I opened it and I could tell immediately the lock was busted off you could tell it was freshly broken and it broke my heart it was so sad."
There is little monetary value to the pieces found in the box, but there is likely a high amount of sentimental value. Some of the jewelry is even engraved with the name Diane, including pins from Girl Scouts and National Honor Society.
