A $2,500 trailer loaded with $5,800 worth of equipment was stolen from the parking lot of a north Salina storage facility Tuesday morning.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that surveillance video showed a black Chevrolet Silverado Z71 pull into the parking lot at Citywide Storage, 440 N. Ohio Street, and back up to the trailer. A few minutes later, the pickup and trailer exit the parking lot and headed north on N. Ohio Street.

The trailer and items on it were the property of Mark Augustine, 56, of Salina, Forrester said.

The trailer was a black 18-foot Finish Line trailer with a Kansas license plate of 807 MLK. It was valued at $2,500, Forrester said.

Items on the trailer included the following, he said.

●A gray 2007 Kawasaki ATV valued at $2,500

●A green 2006 Arctic Cat ATV valued at $2,500

●A gray go-cart with a roll cage valued at $500

●A red-frame three-point sprayer valued at $300

Forrester said a person in the same kind of pickup was believed to have stopped by the day before and looked at the trailer.
