ROCHESTER, Minn. - . This comes after all the tools were stolen from their storage trailer in Mason City.
A couple weeks ago, someone stole the storage trailer full of equipment. A short time later, the trailer was found abandoned in a cornfield, but the tools were gone, resulting in a loss of about $6,000. That of course sets them back on their mission of building homes for people in the community.
