REWARD HOTLINE

February 13, 2026 / R2026.2

(ACTUAL UNITS)

CPP received a call on our Hotline yesterday afternoon from

a property owner in Chino asking if a John Deere 135 excavator on his land was stolen. Apparently, the person who had rented the property

from him had stopped paying rent so the owner went to clear the land. Once we were able to determine that the JD was stolen, CPP reached out to our

contacts with CHP Inland Division (CTIP- cargo theft unit) to assist. Upon their

arrival, not only did the Detective locate and confirm the info for the

excavator, but he discovered 8 additional stolen units along with a load of

stolen soft drinks at the location.


Recovered:

JD 135 excavator = $300,000

CAT 125 Telehandler = $250,000

Flatbed trailer = $50,000

JLG Telehandler = $65,000

CAT 415 loader = $125,000

JLG 54 Telehandler = $65,000

Enclosed trailer = $15,000

JCB Telehandler = $125,000

JLG Telehandler = $84,000

Load of Zevia soft drinks = $50.000

Total: $1,129,000
