Fifth-Wheel Hitch Stolen

A thief was probably sweating after taking an item from the back of a man's pickup last week. That's because the item in question was a fifth-wheel hitch. Rickey Weaver told sheriff deputies he'd gone out of town for the weekend, and when he returned Wednesday, the hitch was gone from the back of his Ford F-150, which had set in the driveway of his Traphill home over the weekend. The missing hitch is described as a "Reese" model ,and included the truck rail and installation kit. It was valued at almost 13-hundred dollars. Deputies have no suspects at this time.
