(CBS/AP) REHOBOTH, Mass. - Thursday morning we told you about a 14-ton yellow bulldozer stolen from a home construction site in Massachusetts, and posed the question, 'Where will the thieves hide it?'

One day later, we have the answer: 500 miles away in western Pennsylvania.

Police in Rehoboth, Mass. say the 2006 Caterpillar D5 XL that neighbors said was loaded onto a flatbed trailer and hauled off Sunday has been tracked down at a home in Venango County, Pa., about halfway between Pittsburgh and Erie.

Police arrested 42-year-old Christian Wilson of Swansea, Mass. in connection with the bulldozer's disappearance, and held him on $10,000 bail pending arraignment Thursday.

The home construction crew realized the 28,000 lb., $85,000 bulldozer was missing on Monday.
