Sherman, IL – In a stroke of criminal brilliance, someone decided that a bright red village truck was the perfect getaway vehicle.
According to the Sherman Police Department, this dazzling display of theft occurred on Monday when a 2014 Red Ford F550 with a Knapheide flatbed was stolen from the Village of Sherman public works facility. To add a touch of genius, the thief also took off with a 20-foot Doolittle dual-axle trailer attached, carrying not one, but two Zero turn lawn mowers—a Toro Z Master and an Exmark Laser.
Because, you know, nothing screams “low profile” like a fire-engine red truck pulling a massive trailer. Perhaps the thief plans to start an impromptu landscaping business or simply wanted a flashy ride to cruise around town. The police are undoubtedly scratching their heads over this one, wondering what prompted such a bright idea.
Sherman authorities are urging anyone with information about this bold theft to contact Sergeant Joseph Vallar at 217-496-3256. This plea comes as they hope to unravel the mystery behind the stolen equipment and the motives of this conspicuously savvy criminal.
