So much for making a getaway in an unassuming vehicle.

City officials are asking for the public’s help in locating a truck that was stolen from the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.

The white truck, a 2004 Chevrolet, has a plow on the front and a sander on the back, the department said. It was stolen from city property Wednesday night in Dorchester’s Franklin Park.

A witness said hey saw the vehicle leaving the property at about 10 p.m.

The truck has a blue municipal license plate that reads MB1410.

Boston police are investigating the incident and asking anyone with information to call 911 or their anonymous tip line, 800-494-8477.
