Thieves steal trailer full of items used by nonprofit to complete home repairs

CHARLOTTE — Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte hopes to find a cargo trailer containing tools and materials needed to complete home repairs.

Surveillance video from Christmas Day shows a dark gray Toyota Tacoma towing the trailer away in Steele Creek.

After the nonprofit posted the video and plea for help from the public, Lowe’s stepped in.

Lowe’s donated $10,000 in support of Rebuilding Together CLT to replace the stolen tools, equipment, trailer and to help implement additional security measures.

On December 25th at 11:08 am, while our team was celebrating the holidays with family, two individuals driving a dark gray Toyota Tacoma stole our cargo trailer containing tools and materials we need to complete critical home repairs. If you recognize this vehicle or the individuals involved, please get in touch with us. We are working with detectives from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
