A Fort Smith, Ark., man is missing some property after a U-Haul trailer he was pulling behind his vehicle was broken into during an overnight stay in Salina.

Sometime between 10 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday, someone broke into a U-Haul trailer that was locked and secured to a vehicle owned by Timothy Arquitt, 46, of Fort Smith, Ark., while it was parked at Courtyard by Marriott, 3020 Riffel Drive, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

When Arquitt came out Saturday morning, he found the trailer door open and a purple Trek Marlin 5 bicycle, a 29-inch XRT Comp tire, and the lock to the trailer missing, Forrester said. Total loss was estimated at $950.

Police are reviewing surveillance video, he said.
