KANE COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) -- A historic military vehicle was reportedly stolen from the Dixie National Forest in Kane County, Utah, prompting an investigation.

The stolen half-track vehicle was once used as a military transport vehicle, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Officials said it was last used over 70 years ago, in the late 1950s, by Utah State Rep. Carl Albrecht's father, Torval.

Torval Albrecht would use the half-track to haul freshly cut spruce and pine from the Boulder and Thousand Lake Mountains to his log mill in Bicknell in southern Utah.
