Police are looking for a pickup that was stolen from a Salina grocery store parking lot Thursday evening.

A 41-year-old Salina woman told police that she let an acquaintance drive her white 1995 Chevrolet 2500. He went to Dillons, 1235 E. Cloud, and reportedly left the pickup unlocked and the keys on the floorboard, but not visible from outside the pickup, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester. The man said he was in the store for approximately 20 minutes. When he came out, the pickup was gone.

The theft occurred sometime between 7:30-8 p.m. Thursday.

The pickup was valued at $3,500. It had a Kansas license plate of 566PPH.

Additionally, it was reported that there were approximately $12,000-$15,000 worth of miscellaneous tools and approximately 40 rings valued at an estimated $10,000 in the pickup, Forrester noted.

Surveillance video is being reviewed.
