Default My cousin's Kenworth was stolen... Please

My cousin, George Straker. who lives in Tampa, Florida had his entire business stolen late Wednesday night, early Thursday morning of this week.

His specially designed, heavy haul Kenworth, that took 7 mos to build, and his best trailer were stolen from his truck yard in Seffner, Florida. They actually damaged the new trailer too, by improperly detaching from it, to hook to the more maneuverable trailer that they wanted to steal. The trailer they stole was a Fontaine.

Please, if you live anywhere in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisana, Texas, or do business as a truck driver up and down the east coast, pleae be on the lookout for this truck. He has a $1000.00 reward for the recovery of it. Below are pictures of his rig.

Law enforcement seems to think a Cuban ring is responsible and it may be in the Miami area.

Thanks for any help ya'll can give and if you think you spot it, please call the closest law enforcement agency.

He just made the final payment on this rig 3 weeks ago and is heartbroken. His business is gone.
