Have You Seen This Trailer? Did this "fairly new" but quite used charcoal utility trailer appear at your neighbor's home over the weekend? If so, call the police immediately!

BE ON THE LOOK OUT
The trailer with a 5' x 8' bed and a partial load of wood debris from a demolished deck was stolen from the driveway in the Wilkes East neighborhood at NE 162nd and Multnomah St sometime between Friday evening March 8th and Sunday morning March 11th. Most likely the theft occured overnight Friday.

Because the hitch was locked, the trailer was probably towed away using only the safety chain.

Contact the Police
A police report has been filed. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of this trailer is urged to contact the Gresham Police 503-823-3333.
