PARKVILLE, Mo. — A local Boy Scout troop is looking for the thieves who stole a trailer filled with thousands of dollars of valuable materials.
Leaders of Troop 1393 in Parkville noticed the trailer was gone from a VFW post on Saturday. The trailer had tents, stoves, cooking gear, first aid kits, and other gear used for camping.
In all the troop says it’s out more than $10,000. Leaders filed a report with the Platte County Sheriff’s Office, but don’t believe it will ever be recovered.
“It’s pretty devastating. Everything that we need to go on a campout, which we go on a campout once a month, is inside that trailer,” Scoutmaster Pete Smith said.
