Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stolen construction equipment was located in a warehouse on Chicago’s South Side Tuesday, and business owners are trying to get their machinery back as police investigate the case.
Ben Kasper owns his own construction company in Burr Ridge, and last week, he says a large piece of equipment was stolen from a community center he’s building in Harvey.
“I pulled up and the door was open,” Kasper said. “I could see the thing in plain view with rental company sticker still on back of it. I just went in there and said screw this I’m getting my stuff back. This whole thing is as shady as can be.”Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
