It was parked on the edge of the very busy sector 710, the road that goes from Sarlat to Périgueux, near the rubbish bins, just before it reaches La Douze. “We have to park near the construction sites, Christophe Montastier justified.

Except on Tuesday, November 19 in the morning, when the workers start on site, they can no longer find the trailer. A neighbor then tells them that she saw and heard something. “She told us that she had heard the sound of a tractor around 11:30 p.m. The tractor was struggling, but she saw it go away with the trailer. She wasn’t too worried, she wasn’t worried. She asked questions the next day because we couldn’t find the trailer anymore.describes the business manager.
