LOST BOTTLE. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE SHARE.
Last night I loaded up& SOMEHOW LOST my 300cuft Bakers Mig Welding Gas Bottle out from the back of my truck. I can only assume the tailgate fell& it rolled out. How I didn't hear it happen, I have no idea. But I promise I need it back for work. I have kiddos to feed& bills to pay and that bottle helps make that happen.
It looks just like the picture below except larger. (Other pictures to show ya this is my life) The bottle is sea green in color with a BAKERS painted on stencil. Roughly 5ft tall, about 10-12" in diameter& weighs about 200lbs. Bakers also serialized their bottles. So "stealing it" and then trying to fill it will be silly. Turning it in to them would be awesome becauseI already left a voice-mail about losing it. But more than anything, I'd just prefer it back because I needed it for work today.
It must've fell out between 11pm- Midnight. The last trip I made was between 6th&Kentucky (east end of town) to which I went north on Kentucky, west on 3rd st into town, ran South on Monroe St to 9th st where I stopped at the S&G, then I ran over to the WayStation& headed back home from there back the same route of Monroe to 3rd, to Kentucky and then 6th.
I had it strapped into the truck bed with the tail gate up. So I'm still confused. I've already talked with the gas stations to have them check their cameras to see if I lost it in route or on the way back. I've also made a police report assuming that it came out of the truck and caused damage to a parked car. But City Police claim there are no reports as of now. I've drove the route 3x now& definitely don't see it anywhere along the road. I can only imagine 2 young men or one strong man seen it and picked it up last night.
Let me know if you have it. Or know someone who "found it". Or please share to help me find it. This is a small town. Everyone knows someone who knows something about someone or something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Message me, text me, call me. I'll have the work phone on me all day. So if there's any leads please, 5176733029
