SUMMERFIELD, Fla. (AP) – Thieves made off with a refrigerated tractor-trailer filled with $85,000 worth of shredded mozzarella cheese bound for a Hungry Howies Pizza distribution center in central Florida.

The truck was reported stolen Sunday.

The Ocala Star-Banner (http://bit.ly/1E8g2vd ) reports the driver and his girlfriend left the trailer at Hubbard’s Truck Parking in Summerfield Saturday evening while having a mechanic check the truck.

Marion County Sheriff’s officials say the woman reported the truck was missing Sunday. Deputies say a hauler was also reported missing from the lot on Saturday, presumably to take the trailer.

The missing trailer has white mud flaps with “Hudsonville Trailer Sales” on them. It also has a Michigan license plate. The trailer is valued at $62,000.

Anyone with information should call the sheriff’s office.
