On January 30, 2012, Hertz Equipment Rentals in French Camp, CA, discovered that their 2005 Ford F-250 was missing. They quickly reported the theft to Contra Costa  California Highway Patrol. After verifying the theft, CHP officers completed a stolen vehicle report and had the Ford pickup truck’s VIN entered into the state and federal crime computers.
