Nora Springs man charged with felony theft of $10K skid loader

MASON CITY – A Nora Springs man and Manly bar owner is charged by Mason City police in the theft of a $10,000 skid loader.

Joseph John Siems, age 41, was in possession of a skid loader that police said is worth $10,000. They said it was recently stolen fro the Des Moines area.

A source familiar with the situation told NIT that Siems was trying to sell the skid loader on the Craiglist website and police had an undercover officer as the buyer. The deal was said to have gone down at the Menard’s parking lot in Mason City. Later that night, according to the source, the police did a search warrant on a trailer belonging to a relative of Siems’ that was parked at the Thirsty Dog in Manly, owned by Siems. After searching the trailer, the police hooked onto it and towed it away with a pickup truck. They also impounded Siems’ Chevy truck, the source said.

Siems was arrested on December 3 and charged with felony first degree theft. He posted $10,000 surety bond the next day and was released pending a December 19 court date.
