A yellow cub cadet ride on lawnmower was taken from the garage at a home in Kilfera court in Kilkenny on Tuesday morning.
Gardaí say a van or trailer would have been needed to transport it and are appealing to anyone who might have seen suspicious activity in the area to contact them.
In Tullow a range of DeWalt and Makita tools were stolen from a van in Killerig on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect was disturbed and fled in a silver Saab.
