North Vancouver RCMP are asking for public help in finding a 50-thousand dollar excavator, that was stolen from a worksite almost two weeks ago.

The orange, 2010 Kubota excavator was taken from the site in the 400-block of West Keith road sometime between the night of Friday February 22nd and the morning of Sunday, February 24th, when no one was at the jobsite.

    Don't know for sure. But don't you think that a guy that was business savy might be smart enough to install a GPS on the equipment?????? So when the battery was reconnected he would know where it was??? But maybe the insuransce payes more.

    Wish they mentioned the model...the pic shows a mini, and they vary in weight from 3k to 12k pds...the smaller ones can be hauled with a <14k flatdeck and a 3/4ton truck, whereas the bigger ones need a semi or dump truck to haul. Hope they get the buggers. I always worry about someone nicking mine. Wonder if it is in a shipping container onward to ports unknown.

    Ken280: The readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home. OH REALLY KEN! You have a nerve to give your views when you have a policy of PREACHING ONE THING AND PRACTICING THE EXACT OPPOSITE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HIP POCKET. Ken's rule: Hip pocket number one and health number two.
    "Go NDP Go". In your West Vancouver-Capilano riding the NDP won 14.52% of the popular vote in 2009, 18.15% in 2005, 6.0% in 2001, 14.90% in 1996, and 23.52% in 1991.
    In your West Vancouver-Sea to Sky(formerly Garibaldi) riding the NDP won 22.90% of the popular vote in 2009, 21.09% in 2005, 10.92% in 2001, 29.16% in 1996, and 23.52% in 1991.
    Ken, why don't you admit that you live in a B.C. Liberal riding.

      @joes_2868 I do not have to admit to you anything! I will be like all you in the liberal/Cons of the coalition and tell the people nothing but lies and be deceitful when it comes to balanced budgets why do you not admit the budget is a crock! Go NDP Go

    That's a big bucket of cash.
    Problem with such theft like this is, if you look like you belong there, nobody questions why you're there nor remember any details.
    For 50,000 it's likely not very big.
    Someone could've backed a truck and trailer in and have it gone right under people's noses and not been noticed.
