"The incident was transferred to West Midlands Police."
The thieves knocked over a large notice board as they attempted to smash their way out.
Baggeridge Country Park's Facebook page revealed the damage and appealed for witnesses.
They said: "Just in case you were wondering, Himley had a break in last night and they tried to get out with the pick up through Baggeridge, this is far as they got with this but they did take another another vehicle.
"If you heard or saw something suspicious last night (I know there are always dog walkers even in the small hours) then ease let Staffordshire Police know, timings could help pin it down."
