OAKLAND (KRON) — In what might be considered a sign of the times, a water tanker from stolen from a job site in Oakland.

When Mador Trejo, the foreman for the Marina Landscape project, got to the site Friday morning, he noticed that a 500 gallon water taker was missing.

Trejo said that he’s had tools taken before, but missing water was a new experience for him.

He thinks the thieves came at night when the site was fairly empty, and backed a truck up and then left.

Trejo said he tried to go after the thieves to get his water, but he never found it.

The crew brought in a temporary tank to use wen they hose off their equipment.

Trejo thinks somebody stole the water tanker to have water for their lawn.
