STOLEN Trail Machine and NW Trail Alliance Cargo Trailer!

Stolen last night from Veronia Oregon. PLEASE KEEP AN EYE PEELED Contact on image if spotted

Purchased with grant dollars, this equipment was working on several new trails! Lets get it back!

The Portland-based non-profit Northwest Trail Alliance is scrambling this morning after finding out that a trailer full of trail-building equipment — including a $75,000 tractor for building singeltrack — was stolen last night.

According to the group's president Tom Archer, the trailer was parked in the maintenance yard of Stub Stewart State Park (about 35 miles northwest of Portland near Vernonia). Archer is asking everyone to keep their eyes peeled in hopes that they can track it down.
Please be on the lookout for an 18-foot, enclosed, gray utility trailer with the "Northwest Trail Alliance" black logo and the IMBA logo on both sides of trailer (license plate of U449427).

The NW Trail Alliance received a grant to purchase the ST240 machine in September 2010 and they've been actively building a network of mountain bike trails at Stub Stewart. Archer says there are only five ST240 machines in existence (they're made nearby in North Plains) and they'll eventually need parts and service.
Please call (503) 877-5637 immediately if you see the trailer or have any information.

If I could I'd beat the hell out of all tool thieves People who steal from people just trying to make a community a better place are the lowest of the low Good luck in recovery

If i was to use the words I'd like to about this, I'd have to ban myself. Absolutely disgusting!!!! I guess the rarety of the machine gives some hope. Best of luck, hope they get caught and most importantly, you get the equipment back.
