Rathdowney Quick-Fit said that the man was driving a black three door Ford Focus with a registration number of: 09 Roscommon 524, and with two spare wheels on the passenger side of the car.
The company has taken to social media following the theft with photos attached from CCTV footage of the man. In a post, it said: 'The absolute toe-rag in the attached pictures came into the garage today to get a price on some tyres (apparently).
'While walking back to his car he helped himself to one of our milwaukee impact guns. He's likely long gone from the area but he's driving a black 3 door Ford Focus and with two spare wheels on the passenger side. If you know who he is or where he is, we'd like a chat with him.'
Gardaí confirmed that no arrests have been made and investigations in Laois are ongoing. Anyone with information in relation to the incident should contact Rathdowney Garda Station.
