As a small lawn care business, his work truck, trailer and the equipment inside of it is the entire business.
Now, Harris is offering free lawn care for a yearto the person who can help him get back all of his missing equipment and trailer.
Harris said someone stole the truck and equipment near 31st and Harvard in Tulsa on Friday. He was talking with a customer in the customer's backyard. Out front the keys were inside the truck, but he locked the doors and had the remote opener in his pocket.
