A poutine food trailer was stolen from downtown Kamloops Tuesday, and the owners are desperately looking to get it back.

Frenchies Poutinerie posted to Facebook Wednesday that their trailer had been stolen, and it has since been spotted in Salmo.

“I have put my heart and sweat into this thing. Not to mention the countless hours of customizing it and getting it ready for events,” the company posted on Facebook.

Frenchies says multiple people have since spotted the trailer in Salmo, with the last sighting being at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

While stealing a poutine truck is terrible any time of year, mid-summer is particularly bad for the company.

“We have been prepping for the past week for our big event this weekend,” the company posted. “We have several thousand pounds of potatoes cut and prepped just to have someone %*#%+ steal it.”

The company says police in Salmo are aware the trailer has been spotted there.
