Authorities searching for stolen Moffit Bros. truck

This Moffit Bros. truck was reported stolen Nov. 11 in Enterprise.

Neither Wallowa County nor Asotin County Sheriff’s deputies ever laid eyes on the Moffit Bros. truck that was reported stolen from an Enterprise residence the night of Nov. 11.

The truck, belonging to Moffit Bros. Transportation and Construction in Lostine, reportedly was seen by a Moffit Bros. bus driver outside of Lostine, according to Roberta Moffit.

“He passed our bus driver just as fast as he could go,” she said. “It worried our driver; he thought something had happened.”

Moffit said another employee reported seeing the truck heading out the Promise Road.

“We think (the thief) took Wildcat to Troy and then went from Troy to Highway 3 and on north to Lewiston.”

Wallowa County authorities headed north, but were unable to locate the pickup. Asotin County Sheriff’s Department informed the Chieftain on Monday that they had not seen the vehicle, either.

Rumors abound, Moffit said, but no official reports have been made since then.

The truck is white with a Moffit Bros. logo on the side. The license plate number is Oregon No. ZPP648.

The Sheriff’s Office notified authorities in Idaho and Washington about the stolen truck.

If you have information regarding the vehicle, please contact the Wallowa County Sheriff’s Office at 426-3131, Ext. 0.
