PORTLAND — A Habitat for Humanity truck used to haul tools and materials from deconstruction sites to area ReStores, including the one in Vancouver, was stolen over the weekend.
The truck was taken from the parking lot at the ReStore support offices on Northeast Marx Street in Portland.
It was used by the ReStores’ salvage service team, which removes cabinets, appliances, windows, doors and other items from deconstruction sites that are then sold in ReStores to raise money for Habitat projects.
“It’s all very disappointing,” Joe Connell, vice president of retail operations for Habitat for Humanity Portland Metro East, said in a news release. “The chance of recovering the truck in any operational condition is very slim to none at all.”
