Police are investigating the theft of a pickup in north Salina.
A 78-year-old Salina man told police that his 1990 GMC Sierra pickup had been parked in the 500 block of N. Seventh Street. He first noticed it was gone on Saturday, however, because family members sometimes borrow it, the man didn't think anything of it being gone, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
When the pickup was still missing on Monday and after checking with relatives, the man reported the theft to police. The key to the pickup was still in a shop near where the pickup had been parked, Forrester said.
The pickup is light blue and has a Kansas license plate of 328HLH on it. The pickup also has a rusty lift gate on the back, Forrester said. The pickup was valued at $8,000.
Forrester said police are checking the area for surveillance video.
