Stolen Polaris Ranger

[Boggie]

08 Polaris Ranger Razor 800, Red with black rag top. Nice shape. Had a new sprayer mounted on the back.

The Reg# 783WJ expires Dec. 31, 2014.

Taken sometime the first week of June. Shed was broken into. Loaded on a trailer. This was located in Stevens county MN. 5 miles south of Chokio, MN. The thief came from the north and left heading north.

I will give a $500 reward. My cell number is 320-455-7363

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

That sucks, hope you find it. Insurance at least?

I only had liability insurance as I thought my umbrella farm insurance would cover a theft. Wrong,,,any licensed vehicle has to have its own insurance. The farm buildings sit right out in the open along two blacktop roads. I believe it is someone local that watches my site and knew that I keep it in the shed. I had been using it to spray just a day or so before.

Hoping someone sees or hears something they will turn in. I doubt it will be recovered, but I sure would like to catch them.

Definitely sounds like you said. They knew it was in the shed. So they must have either been from nearby or just happened to drive by in the last day or so and saw you. Maybe someone who was in the area for the weekend and decided to bring it home with them and hide it where they live. Either way what a bummer. Good luck and hopefully someone here can help find it.

Maybe put just what you put said here in the local newspaper where it was stolen from. Someone there might just need $500.....

This really sucks to hear. Lesson be learned from situations like this.

Might be a good time for the rest of us to confirm what's covered under our insurance policies. I've been hearing of more cases like this where people thought their vehicles were covered under a home owners policy or farm policy only to find out after it's too late it's not.

How do they define licensed vehicle? If you have a UTV used on personal property that doesn't need an ag or rec license would it be covered? Would a tractor, lawn mower etc be covered?

It does not only apply to vehicles, my tools, retired mechanic so imagine the size and quantity of high quality equipment, is cabled down to anchors in my garage. With that said, my insurance company says nope not covered. so i have a rider just to cover that. But it is expensive but what if's are too. Guess i just keep biting my bullet until i cant take the payments anylonger.

You can go broke buying insurance. As they say...everything is covered unless you file a claim. Then, it wasn't covered or it was stolen on the wrong day or you forgot to tell us you wanted it covered for theft. Did you remove the keys??? No sir,,I had it in a locked shed, thought that would be good enough, Nope. Can you tell me what is covered??? Anything that is safe and well protected. You mean anything that I can get under my bed and is protected with my 357 under my pillow. That would be best,,,if you announce that you have a pistol and that you intend to us it if they decide to stick around. God I love the USA laws.
