"❗️ Someone stole our locker ❗️
I’ve been traveling a lot and met a lot of people on the way, but I am still amazed by people’s behavior… Exactly two weeks ago, on the 3rd of October (our anniversary) me and my boyfriend “locked” our love at the locker wall in Pécs. We bought the locker that is visible in the above picture and carved our initials on it, thinking that nobody and nothing will ever unlock it. Well, that only happens in fairytales apparently, because only two weeks after we walked by the locker wall and decided to check if it is still there and surprisingly it disappeared (you can see in the picture without the locker in, we know exactly where we locked it). I cannot believe such people exist on this earth. That locker was not just an object, it had a significance for us. Why would someone take something that does not belong to them?! Why would someone steal a locker that has someone’s love and initials carved on it?! Please, share my post, because people should understand that they should never mess with things that have such big sentimental meaning. If you, the one who took the locker, see this post, please go and put it back where it belongs!"
