Thieves Steal Built-In Swimming Pool
A Norwegian family returned to their mountain cabin for the first time since November and found their swimming pool installed 20 years ago was gone.
"It must have been a terrible job to disassemble such a big pool. There is a steel lining all the way around, plus there is a plastic liner and then there was a skimming system, a filter system and a lot of big hoses, and pipes," said Brit Nicolaysen, who owns the cabin with her husband.
"They must have had a whole lot of time," she said.
Brit said no one, not even the police, believed them at first.
Police said they had never heard anything like it. They suspected the pool was taken for someone's private use, since there's not a market for 20-year stolen, in-ground pools.
I kind of doubt there is a market for used 20 year old built in pools. It makes you wonder who did it and why. Aliens or was it a prank?
Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of "the rat race" is not yet final.
