The 20-foot box trailer was taken from Industrial Park West in Tolland at around 10:15 Friday morning, according to police.

The trailer is described as black in color with the words “Capitol Salvage” written on it in gray lettering. It contained the following, according to a police report:

  • 1883 blue creamery cabinet;
  • Wooden English clothing store mannequin;
