Thieves Steal Family's In-Ground Swimming Pool

POSTED: 10:41 am PST February 21, 2005

OSLO, Norway -- A Norwegian family's swimming pool wasn't just bolted down, it was in the ground -- but that didn't keep it from being stolen.

When the family visited their mountain cabin over the weekend, they discovered a big hole in place of the swimming pool that had been installed 20 years ago. The pool -- 16 feet in diameter -- and all of its equipment had been uprooted and stolen.

The theft happened between early November, when the family closed up the cabin for the winter, and this weekend.

1. I'm not one to condone crime, but

I tip my hat to the thieves on this one.

If they wanted it that bad... let them have it.

2. I wept because I had no pool

until I met a man who had no spa.

5. I'm gioing to show my ignorance of geography and weather here,

but am I to understand that this swimming pool (not hot tub, or jacuzzi) was stolen from their mountain home (second home)in Norway? How much could they have possibly used it? Does it get warm enough, in the mountains of Norway, to get much use out of it, especially if it's their second home? Just curious...

6. how did they move it?
