Have you seen a Humvee? The military would like it back, please

If you see a multi-ton vehicle on the road with canvas doors and a camo paint job, it’s not a tricked-out Hummer — it’s stolen property.

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, also known as a Humvee, was stolen from the Santa Rosa National Guard Armory over the holiday weekend, said Sgt. Michael Ball of the California Highway Patrol’s Santa Rosa branch.

Not many details have been released about the theft, but it’s suspected to have occurred after 10 p.m. Monday. No weapons were in the Humvee, but the CHP said it had no information as to whether anything else was taken during the break-in.

The vehicle is brown and green and can be identified by the ID No. FSC3067 spray-painted on its bumpers.

Since the theft, several tipsters have reported seeing the vehicle in parts of Northern California, from Santa Rosa to Sacramento, but it had yet to be recovered as of Thursday night.

“No officers have been able to put eyes on it,” Ball said.

The National Guard did not immediately return a request for comment.

The U.S. Army’s website describes a Humvee as “a lightweight, highly mobile, high-performance, diesel-powered, four-wheel drive, air-transportable and air-droppable family of tactical vehicles,” weighing up to 11,500 pounds and having a maximum speed of 70 mph.

This is not the first time a Humvee has been stolen from a California National Guard outpost; in 2021, one was reported stolen in Bell, though it was recovered several days later.

Anyone with information can call CHP investigators at (707) 588-1400 during regular business hours.
