Recognizing it may be from a nearby construction site, Rangers contacted workers at the site and conrmed it did indeed belong to the company and had been stolen recently. 11/18/22, 4:08 PM Bakersfield Notes 11.18.2022 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9fe194b230d345dcbd16698a95f01ff4/print 3/12 The Rangers and the construction company worked together (below) to return the materials, with an estimated value of more than $1,000!
