To the editor:

I want to inform the residents of Marion County of an incident that happened a couple of weeks ago.

A friend of mine had a $5,000-to-$6,000 tractor stolen from a hayfield next to U.S. 56 in Marion County. He called to report the theft to the sheriff’s department but no one would even come out to investigate.

Also nothing has been mentioned about the theft in the local newspaper.

This just doesn’t seem right.
