A trailer and Bobcat skid steer that were stolen from west-central Salina Saturday were recovered later in Beverly.

Ryan White, 36, of Salina, reported that sometime between 3-4 a.m. Saturday, someone stole a flatbed, tandem-axle trailer with a Bobcat skidsteer on it from where it was parked in a lot along Holiday Street, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

The trailer, valued at $2,000, had a Michigan license plate on it. The Bobcat was valued at $6,000.

Surveillance video showed a 1990s Chevrolet Suburban pull up to the trailer. Two persons got out of the Suburban, hooked up the trailer to the Suburban, and drove away with it, Forrester said.

White later received a Facebook message from someone he didn't know that the Bobcat was in Beverly in Lincoln County.

Lincoln County Sheriff's Office personnel recovered the trailer and Bobcat at the Murray Avenue Mini Storage facility in Beverly, Forrester said.
