At 06:30 on 10 June, two years on from the crash, Shaw could see on her phone that the photograph was being moved.<\/p>\n
Joined by her stepmother and father, she followed the tracker to a property and a man, who looked “really normal and respectable”, answered the door before initially denying all knowledge of the items.<\/p>\n
Shaw explained she had fitted a tracker, at which point Shaw said his demeanor changed to being “quite arrogant”.<\/p>\n
“He said, ‘I have them, but you’re not having them back’,” said Shaw.<\/p>\n
“I was shellshocked by his response. I didn’t really expect to be confronted by the person who was taking them.”<\/p>\n
She said the man continued to insist that the family “didn’t need a shrine, and should grieve in a graveyard”.<\/p>\n
The man eventually handed the family two photographs, then more items were returned following a police search of his property.<\/p>\n
Shaw believes not everyone appreciates the significance of a roadside memorial.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t have understood why someone would want to go to the place where the person took their last breath, until I was in this position,” she said.<\/p>\n
“But if it gives my little brothers even just an ounce of comfort, I’m going to make sure that they have that memorial.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At 06:30 on 10 June, two years on from the crash, Shaw could see on her phone that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":643454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-643453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=643453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/643454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=643453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=643453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=643453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
