Trailer Theft
17800 blk S Vaughn Rd NW, Vaughn
A Peninsula Detachment deputy was dispatched to a theft that occurred sometime overnight at a camp that provides outdoor experiences for children and adults with disabilities. According to the victim, he had been contracted to do some work at the camp and had left his cargo trailer on the job site overnight. When he arrived to start working in the morning, the trailer was gone, along with about $40,000 in tools and equipment. The owner said he had a tongue lock, but the thieves cut off the lock and left it at the camp. The thieves did leave their bolt cutters behind, but the rain appears to have washed away any fingerprints or other evidence.
