Theft on Irish Run Road

At approximately 11:40 this morning two men in a late seventies early eighties full size truck with orange front panels and hood and grey cab and body pulled into our driveway. The passenger got out and knocked on the door. Upon no answer he motioned to the driver to pull forward. The passenger proceeded to pick up our gas pressure washer and put it into the bed of the truck. After getting back in the driver of the truck made a hasty retreat out of the driveway and headed towards State Route 250.

How do I know all of this? There was someone home, my 14 year old brother. He did what he was always told, 'If someone comes to the door and you do not know them do not answer it.'

I left at 11:20 and got back at 11:50. This took place in that amount of time. When I got home and found out we called my mom and came home and called the sheriff. A deputy came and took my brothers statement and we were informed that a truck matching that same description was spotted over the weekend in Gnadenhutten at several other thefts there.

I called Val to have her check the barn and tack room to make sure all was ok there. We were not sure if they went down the other drive way to there or not. Later this afternoon Val called me and said she spotted a truck that matched the description that I gave her. She was able to get a license plate number for us. Thank you Val. That number has been turned into the sheriff's department and now we just wait.
