Larchwood, Iowa — The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has a mystery on its hands. And they could use your help.
Lyon County Sheriff Stewart Vander Stoep says a burned-out pickup was found Thursday morning (December 15th) about halfway between Larchwood and the West Lyon School — in the 1800 mile of 170th Street — but they have no idea who it belonged to.
He says what makes it worse is that it was already burned up and only smoldering when the Larchwood Fire Department arrived on the scene.
He says when it first happened, they figured a pickup would be reported stolen and the mystery would be solved. But as of Friday afternoon, no pickups had been entered as stolen in the area.
Vander Stoep asks that if you know anything about the pickup in question or if you saw it burning or saw any suspicious activity in the area at that time to call the Sheriff’s Office in Rock Rapids at 712-472-8300.
