A quad ride with friends did not pan out so well for a man in Lake Country on March 22, 2011. He had his quad strapped onto his truck near the first cattle guard on Oyama Road when he left for 15 minutes. When he returned the quad had disappeared. It appears that the vehicle had been taken off and loaded onto another truck. Unfortunately the quad had the keys in it and a full tank of fuel. Stolen is a red 2009 Can AM (VIN # 3JBEKHN119J000619)
