“A $300,000 tractor stolen from a Manitoba business has been recovered — albeit in much smellier condition than it started in. Over the weekend, Fisher Branch RCMP raided a property southwest of Fisher Branch. There, they found a stolen tractor hidden under a 15-foot-high manure pile. Police had to call in an excavator to dig out the 2009-model Case IH Steiger 485 tractor, which had been stolen from a Rural Municipality of Rosser business in December 2010. At the time, police said that thieves had busted their way onto the property at night and loaded the $300,000 tractor onto a trailer, before driving off.” w/ photos
