Maaieh said the thieves got away with roughly $10,000 worth of tools, which he said was a tremendous blow to his wallet.
“The best way to describe it is it's my knife and spoon. This is how we eat. This is what I've worked very hard for many years,” Maaieh said.
The vehicle burglary happened in April, but Maaieh said he won’t stop trying to track down the suspects.
“Initially, I was very angry, very hurt. I'm still not letting this go,” Maaieh said.
If you have any information, he asks that you call the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS (8477).
