A family is pleading for your help tonight to find an antique wooden puzzle box stolen from their home.
 
The Zillys reported the burglary to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. They confirmed they are investigating the case.
 
The burglary happened Tuesday after 10 a.m., but before 2 p.m. The Zillys said consoles, games, jewelry, some cash, and a wooden box were stolen. 
 
The antique wooden puzzle box stored ashes belonging to Jennifer Zilly’s father.
 
“I’ve done nothing but cry about it since I realized he was gone. That’s all I had left of my dad and I don’t even have that now,” Jennifer Zilly said.
 
The Zillys said the suspect smashed a window to break into their home.
 
“It scares the heck out of me to know I didn’t invite somebody into my home and they were in here,” Jennifer Zilly said.
 
The Zillys would like the wooden box returned to them more than any of the other items.
 
“I think the people that do this don’t realize what really…what really matters to our family,” said Anthony Zilly, Jennifer’s husband.
 
If anyone has any information about this case, they need to contact the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
 
“I hope that person rots in hell because what they took from me I can’t get back,” Jennifer Zilly said.
