A thief made off with an entire house in Klamath
Falls, Oregon, this week in a heist that would make
Ocean’s Eleven blush.
On Tuesday, the homeowner called the
Klamath County Sheriff’s Office to report
that the home was missing, KOBI
reports. Moving this log cabin couldn’t
have been easy, either. It was on a
foundation and definitely wasn’t a mobile
home.
“[The owner] went to visit his part-time
home and between the first time he saw
it and a couple of months later, it was
gone. I mean can you imagine?” Klamath
County Sheriff Frank Skrah told The
Washington Post.
Police spent two days searching and
finally found the cabin on Thursday, at
least a mile away from its foundation.
Skrah said there was a legal dispute in
which three people were claiming
ownership of the home, and one of them
had sold it to a fourth person.
“We think that somebody busted out the
foundation, jacked it up, put a lowboy
[trailer] underneath it and lowered it
down on the lowboy and took it,” Skrah
said. The 1,200-square-foot cabin wasn’t
occupied at the time it was
swiped. Deputies reportedly have a list of
suspects, but they wouldn’t release any
more details about the homeowner or the
investigation. No charges have been
filed.
