The Construction Industry Crime Prevention Program is a nonprofit organization committed to helping stop crime in the construction industry, an all-too-common occurance these days.

Recently, however, the group got a little help.

Earlier this month, an employee of Teichert Construction who was trying to find an electrical connector for his boat trailer before heading out of town for the weekend spotted a John deere skip loader that looked like the one that had been stolen from a job site he had been working on.

Sure enough, it was from Sunbelt Rental and stolen from a Teichert Construction job site at McKinley Avenue and Cornelia Street in Fresno. The employee called his foreman who verified the serial numbers, and the loader was returned.

To report a crime -- and like the employee get a reward -- call 1-888-572-3667 for up to $1,000.
