FLORENCE, KY (WXIX) -

An Alabama truck driver's cat is stolen from his semi at a local store.

According to a Facebook post, Jay Jones, a trucker from Clanton, Alabama, stopped at Meijer in Florence, KY on Friday.

While his truck was parked there, someone broke into his 18-wheeler and stole it.

Inside was his computer, camera and some cash. 

But that wasn't the thing he was most upset about. Jones said the thief also took his traveling partner, Maggie the cat.

Jones said on Facebook that Maggie had been his roadie for four years.

"Now I'll never know what happened to her. My hope is to whoever steals trucks likes kitties, I love you Maggie and I will never forget you," Jones Facebook post read.

If you have any information on Jones' truck or Maggie the cat, call Florence Police at (859) 647-5420.
