Steve, who does not wish to reveal his identity, was walking with his wife when she spotted the loader on Wednesday, January 6, around midday.
The 66-year-old assumed it belonged to the Forestry Commission.
But in the early hours of Thursday morning, as he scrolled through Facebook, Steve spotted the Facebook post and called Mr Havens.
“We went and checked it out about 7am,” said Mr Haven. “It was down a track in Thetford Forest, about four miles from where it got stolen.
