POLKVILLE — The trailer was returned Friday, just a little overdue: 14 years.
And the late fees? About $165,000.
A U-Haul trailer wound up Friday in Polkville 14 years after it was stolen, said Mitchell Gosser, a U-Haul serviceman with Hartley Auto and RV Center on Route 11 in Polkville. “It was dropped off in Syracuse last month,” Gosser said.
Gosser said Hartley did not have a U-Haul 14 years ago. However, the trailer needed to be returned to the county it was stolen from, said Adam Kress, a U-Haul service writer at Hartley.
Before being dropped off, the 6- by 12-foot trailer was spotted last month in Norwich. Two weeks ago, it was brought to Cortland by a U-Haul office in Syracuse and on Friday, U-Haul filed a report with the Cortland County Sheriff’s Office.
