A local construction company wants Portsmouth police to know someone swiped a concrete saw — and it should be pretty easy to identify if it turns up.
Allard Construction contacted police Friday morning about ongoing theft problems.
The company reported that a Stihl concrete saw was stolen from a Connex storage container sometime between 5 p.m. July 30 and 6 a.m. Aug. 1.
There was no serial number available.
However, the saw had one very important identifying feature: “Dave” was written on the side in Sharpie.
The company did not request a formal report but wanted the theft documented and wanted police aware that items have been disappearing.
Workers also told officers a 24-foot ladder had previously been stolen, though that theft had not been reported at the time.
So if anyone spots a Stihl concrete saw with “Dave” written on it, there’s a good chance Dave would like it back.
Police documented the complaint.
