Thieves targeted the Dallinger Road business in Lavington on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning last week.
They cut their way through a fence and made off with a New Holland excavator valued at $31,000.
Police believe the offenders had “sound knowledge” of the equipment and how to work it, and believe a small truck or trailer may have been used to remove it.
They have released an image of the earth- moving equipment, but a staff member at the business said they held little hope of seeing the excavator again.
Anyone with information should phone Albury police on (02) 6023 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
