The owners say it was on a trailer which might provide more questions than answers.

"It's basically like stealing a tank. I think it'd be a very hard thing to get away with even if you painted it," said Ed Johnson, co-owner of the vehicle. "I don't see how you could get away with it. It's a hard thing to steal. It will probably show up sometime in the next 24 hours. Somebody might be looking at some charges."

Owners believe the snow cat was stolen Sunday morning.

Call police if you see the vehicle.
