A Bowling Green man moving to Nashville, Tennessee, reported to police that his belongings were taken by a moving truck to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, instead.
Bowling Green Police responded to the suspicious incident after the man moving from an apartment in the 400 block of South Summit Street, called to say his furniture and other belongings never arrived at his new address.
The man told police that his parents had entered a contract with Menards Moving & Storage and paid $858 on their debit card for the move. The company allegedly subcontracted with a company identified as Swift Moving Services.
When the moving truck showed up to the Bowling Green apartment on July 30, the sole employee loaded items into the truck then told the man moving to Nashville that there were more items to move than originally agreed upon. The BG man agreed to the request to pay another $735 through a Cash App.
The moving truck employee told the BG man that he was headed to Chicago next to pick up another customer’s belongings, before delivering his items to Nashville.
The BG man took photos of the semi truck, with the name of Goodview Moving & Storage on the side. He also photographed the license plate and DOT number. He estimated his belongings were valued at a few thousand dollars. Repeated phone calls to the movers provided no answers to their whereabouts.
The BG man told police he had placed an Apple Air tag inside a box of textbooks in the moving truck. By tracking the tag, the man said the truck appeared to move frequently over four days and was now in Milwaukee.
Bowling Green Police Division contacted Milwaukee Police, which said officers would go to the address to check for the truck.
