UNION, Maine — Authorities are looking for a tractor that was stolen early Monday morning from a sales lot in Union, according to police.
The 2011 Kubota model L45, which has a bucket loader on the front and a backhoe on the rear, was taken from Union Farm Equipment on Route 17 at 2 a.m., according to Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland.
McCausland said Maine State Police Trooper Jeremiah Westbrock noted in a police report that a man jumped the fence, started the tractor and then used the bucket to ram through the front gate where it was driven into a ramp truck.
A passing motorist on Route 17 reported seeing the ramp truck with the tractor aboard heading toward Augusta around 2:30 a.m.
McCausland said workers discovered the theft upon arriving for work Monday.
No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information regarding the theft is encouraged to contact state police at 800-452-4664.
Thats pretty brazen to steal a tractor!
Look for it on craigslist, unckle henrys or ebay in a few days.
Nice tractor just occupying dealer-lot space. Great for ramming locked fences….Last seen heading toward Augusta…Does the video surveillance camera show that it was hippies or wealth-redistributors? Perhaps someone should investigate the “Blaine House 9”
Is it hard being perfect and casting judgement on others without any evidence?
This is a ‘comment column’ not the Supreme Court. One deals with ones own thoughts and ideas while the other deals in facts. Relax…
…As long as those thoughts don’t disturb the left wing media or a basement trolls somewhere that flags it because it doesn’t agree with their socialist agenda.
No matter how inane the thought? The poster tried to tie tractor theft to social protesting. Juvenile and lame, at best.
ok that was funny
LOL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What is this world coming to? A tractor sitting on the dealer’s lot, minding it’s own business and voila, disappears. Crazy! ( Is that kidnapping?)
They stole it to plant trees and build windmills so it’s ok..
Wow, pretty bold indeed. That’s a major road and often has not only passersby, but also state and county police. And it’s obviously someone who knows how to run the thing, and has the equipment to haul it off too.
Scary times.
Oh come on — stealing tractors now too?? This is sick. Is nothing safe anymore?
