Family desperate to find stolen car with sentimental items inside
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Midtown woman is asking for the public's help finding a stolen car with some irreplaceable items in the trunk. Wendy Grauer said when thieves drove off in her son's 2005 Toyota Avalon early Wednesday, they also took a set of golf clubs that belonged to her son's late father. Beau Grauer, a bartender at B-Side, was shot to death inside a home on Hawthorne in Midtown in July of 2022 during an apparent robbery. Less than a year later, Beau's older brother, Shea, was also shot and killed near Lockett Place near Madison and Belvedere by someone who took his wallet and cell phone. Wendy Grauer, who was divorced from Beau at the time of his death, said her then 15-year-old son, Cannon, was the last family member to see Beau alive. 'His dad kind of teased him about what he was wearing because he was going to a party in Germantown, and he was dressed really casually,' said Grauer. 'Beau actually took the shoes off his feet and gave them to Cannon that night, and gave him some shorts that he bought for Cannon's birthday.' She said Beau enjoyed golfing, and Cannon took up the sport after he inherited his father's golf clubs, which are now missing. 'They are pretty special to him. Yeah, there was one golf club in particular. I believe he said it was his driver,' said Grauer. 'It was given to Beau by his father, and his father passed away in September.' Grauer said the Avalon was stolen from her driveway on Lyndale sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. She said the thieves also rummaged through another car in her driveway and a neighbor's vehicle. Grauer said her son just recently got the Avalon. While he wants the car back, he's really hoping to find the golf clubs that belonged to his dad. 'They are pretty special to him,' said Grauer. 'It's just a way that he continues to stay connected to him.' If you have seen the stolen Avalon or know where it is, contact Memphis police at 545-COPS or call CrimeStoppers at (901)528-CASH.
