OK, I'm not going to release the names of the guys that stole my stuff, but there is an interesting article in the Charles City Press.
"The Floyd County Sheriff's office has reported that three Floyd County men have been charged with first degree theft after two Cub Cadet tractors were taken from a rural residence.
Dustin D. Devries, 22, Ryan D. Krueger, 25, both of Charles City, and Kevin D. Krueger, 20, of Floyd, went before a Magistrate judge on Monday, Nov. 10. Due to the value of the property, over $15,000, the charge faced is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The Sheriff's Office reports that the stolen items were reported missing at approximately 10 a.m. on Oct. 28 from Echo Avenue, about one mile north of Rockford. Lt. Brian Tiedemann and Investigator Travis Bartz began their investigation into the theft with information collected early that morning, prior to the items having been reported missing, by Lt. Cameron Manson.
Manson noticed a vehicle parked on a gravel road with no lights on at approximate 4:50 a.m. that morning about a half mile west of Hwy. 14 on 240th Street near Marble Rock.
Manson investigated the suspicious vehicle and found two individuals, one of which was pouring gasoline into the vehicle. He was told by the subjects that they were waiting for friend to pick them up. On a trailer were the two tractors. Manson recorded their description, as well as the subjects' information.
Bartz and Tiedemann spent two days investigating the theft. On the third day, investigators apprehended the three subjects and retrieved the stolen property."
