It may be hard to miss something as big as a car-hauling box trailer, but one is missing and local authorities are looking for it.

Coal Grove Police Sgt. Jason Bloomfield said a 24-foot box trailer was stolen Thursday night or very early Friday morning from the parking lot of the old Melvin's Service Center on Marion Pike.

&#8221It is white on both sides with ‘81' and ‘John Melvin' written toward the back of it,“ Bloomfield said.

On the back doors it has ‘Trust in the Lord to the finish.'“

The box trailer had Ohio tags SMS 2591.

&#8221It is an awfully big thing to have someone jump in there and grab it real quick,“ Bloomfield said.
