A thief made off with something that should be very difficult to hide Wednesday morning in  Humphreys County.It's a 40 foot long 55,000 lb class C wrecker with a custom paint job of lightning bolts on the side..That was the last thing on my mind.  I never expected this to happen, said owner Greg Barnett.Barnett says the thief was able to get in the truck because he didn't think he needed to lock something that big and because typically employees are in and out of the business at night.Authorities believe one of two possibilities are behind the theft.    Humphreys County Detective Greg Barnett says it's either a hitchhiker who took it as an opportunity for transportation or a professional thief.You can't disassemble it and take it apart like a car so it's gonna take a very specialized operation to dismantle that if you wanna sell it for parts, said Barnett.Whatever the cause it's left a huge hole in the business for Barnett Wrecker Service.Already the company has turned away four jobs and more will follow if the truck doesn't turn up.I'd really like to get it back, said Barnett.
