Mark Stutler says his company, RBS Construction, has dealt with thieves at their work sites, but never anything like this.

Stutler says, "They hauled our equipment away with a truck that they brought on the site."

Stutler says a woman working at the KMart in Elkview on Sunday told him that she noticed equipment being used to work on their store was being driven away, but she didn't think anything of it, she thought it was just the workers.

It wasn't.

"They stole it in broad daylight. They robbed us." says Stutler.

Stutler says at least 60 thousand dollars worth of equipment was stolen, including a dump truck, a trailer, and a mini excavator.

"Everything was chained and locked together. Someone really would have had to put forth an effort to take all this apart." says Stutler.

Some of the equipment was loaded onto a truck brought to the scene by the thieves. Some other equipment, like a trailer, was driven away.

Stutler has insurance, but says that gives him little peace of mind.

"I'm not looking forward to getting that insurance check because it won't cover what I've lost."

Now, he just hopes the culprits will be brought to justice

Stutler says, "I prayed for them last night. I feel that it's those people that need guidance and help. I'm still angry but at the end of the day it's not gonna do me any good."

Deputies have still not made an arrest in this case so if you know anything about the red four door pickup that was seen hauling the trailer with this equipment call the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office at 357-0169.

Stutler is also offering a reward of 25 hundred dollars to anyone with information leading to an arrest.
