This announcement, dated Jan. 5, 2010, came across my desk today. Please pass along in hopes the equipment is found and not fenced.
Cannon, limber and covered 18 foot car hauler was stolen from a private lot at 4218 Pelham, Dearborn Heights, MI. Locked up inside this trailer was the entire gear belonging to Battery B First Michigan Light Artillary.
The trailer has distinctive bullet hole decals running along both sides and giant cannonball splat on the back door.
The owner wants this information out quickly as the more eyes out looking, the better chances of the equipment being found.
