Trailer reported stolen from local business

Otasco Store had one of its outdoor "fixtures" recently stolen. A flatbed trailer that was chained to a pole in the alley behind the store vanished overnight, Oct. 25, sometime between the hours of 5 p.m. and midnight.

The red and black trailer, with new wood, runners and a second level, had been in that location for years, with never any concern. Until it wasn't and there was - concern - apparently. According to the police report obtained from the Marlow Police Department, the lock securing the trailer was cut.

While there are not any suspects, it is considered a felony larceny charge, theft of motor vehicle parts, when the property value is more than $500. The estimated value of the trailer is $2,000. The lock, $1.
