Stolen Truck Recovered

Wilkes county sheriff deputies recently recovered a vehicle stolen in Caldwell county. The Chevy 3500 pickup, worht 90-thousand dollars, is owned by a Pennsylvania company. Deputies say the truck had been parked in open country near Ronda for some time, as they had received multiple calls to check on it. But the first time they went out, the vehicle ID number hadn't been entered into the national crime database, so they left the truck there, to be towed off later as an abandoned vehicle if it remained long enough. Different people called in the truck on the side of the road the next day, and this time when deputies ran the VIN, it turned up as stolen. Deputies called a local towing service to remove the truck and secure it until Caldwell County deputies could give it the once-over. The Caldwell Conyt case remains unsolved, and it doesn't appear the truck was damaged ot anything was taken from it.
