A Salina man is missing a pickup after it was stolen east of the city earlier this week.

Vincent Raetz, 59, of Salina, reported that sometime between 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and 8:30 a.m. Thursday, someone stole his blue, 1995 GMC Sierra pickup from where it was parked in the 1700 block of E. Old Highway 40 near the ADM elevator where he works, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning.

The key was in the visor and the pickup was unlocked, Soldan said.

The pickup had a Kansas license plate of 422PCM. The pickup had rust on the driver's side of the cab and the wheelwells, Soldan said. The pickup also had a sticker in the back window with the words "Preserve wildlife. Pickle a squirrel." on it. The pickup also contained jumper cables, a $150 socket set, a $65 1.5 ton jack in a case, and some fence insulators, he said.

The pickup was valued at $4,200.
