Frank's truck was stolen last night. If this was the first incidence of theft, that would be one thing, but we have been hit with a string of break-ins. It started about two months ago when someone broke out the window of Frank's truck and emptied it out, but left the truck. Next someone broke into our equipment yard and stole one of our work trucks that was full of most our power tools. Then this past Sunday night, someone broke into our equipment yard again (after we had taken measures to prevent this), hot wired our remaining work truck and used it to drive through our locked gates, getting away with a dump trailer, a mini walk-behind loader (Bobcat MT100), and two compactors. This morning, Frank went out to go to work and his truck was gone. We can't take any more of this.

It's a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the license plate B52824U, and our company logos all over it. If anyone sees this truck, please message me.

Please share this and get the word out. We really want to get the truck back if we can.

As far as jobs go, this is a smaller one, but it's just as satisfying when you can make such a difference for the homeowner and go the extra mile. When we had their driveway dug up, they realized their main water line needed to be brought up to date, so we helped coordinate that extra work. In the end, they got even more than they expected.
