Motor Vehicle Theft
A semi-tractor was stolen from Ryder Transportation after it was left there by the driver, according to St. Charles police reports. The driver said he left his rig at the company yard between shifts. It was not there when he returned.
The rig, valued at $75,000, has apparently been stolen before from the same yard, but always returned, the driver told police. The driver told St. Charles officers that officers in Bolingbrook have observed the rig being used to haul equipment from a Wal-Mart parking lot.
