Some chud stole our forklift yesterday - anybody recognize the logo on this truck?

Some dude in a red flatbed truck backed into the industrial complex yesterday around 3:30 PM and stole a forklift owned by the machinist a few doors down from me.

The problem is that the machinist lets everybody at the complex use the forklift, so to channel my best communist, someone stole -our- forklift.

Link is to the Nest camera video feeds - video quality is crap because I have the crappiest ISP in the world currently and my upstream bandwidth is limited.

Logo on the door of the flatbed looks to start with an A or R. Assuming the flatbed truck is stolen as well.

Do a quick Google Images / tow truck logo's search.

Not sure where you are but there are quite a few red ones.

And damn brazen :wow

Hey Moike, good to see you around here. Sorry the circumstances, suck, that Truck logo isn't one I am familiar with I'm afraid.

I squinted and then looked up what I thought it was on the logo...I think I got lucky. It's Arnold Transportation Services?

Nah, I swear in this snip it says 'Aromas'

Well, now I've got that stuck in my brain and I can't see anything else. But yeah, it could say that too. Or Alamos? Or Arsmos?

I'll keep squinting... this is fun for me and could help you out. We're assuming that first letter is an A. It might be a logo and only letters after.

Santa Clara.

And it's not a repo as far as we know, it was stolen.

Repo was my first thought. Are you sure the owner didn't owe any money? The owner would/should know whether or not it was a repo. Did he make a police report? Maybe he just doesn't want to tell the other businesses around him that it was repo'ed out of embarrassment.

Using a tow truck with a logo in broad daylight, I'd say Occam's Razor would point to this being a repo over a theft. But anything is possible, I suppose.

Not a repo. Police contacted and report filed. Machinist owns the forklift outright, bought it from the property manager a while back.
