Just wait until the guys on the "Pallets in fields" thread read about this.

I seem to remember a former Oregon governor requesting that people quit moving to the state because it was getting too crowded. Maybe, that cabin was just one too many.

Well, it's not around here.

I'd start looking along your Interstate 5 though, there's a clue right there in the picture!

I remember back in the 70s someone stole a bank in La. They hooked up to the trailer it was in and broke the blocks holding it up and drove away. They discovered it missing when they went to work the next morning. Found it on a back road with an empty safe.

I remember reading of log homes in various stages of construction that would disappear. Sounded like the house would be built to a certain point and then people would come in over the weekend/night, disassemble the logs and take off. Always sounded like an inside job to me.

okay. I admit it. I took it. I thought it would look nice on my new ocean front property. lol

We had a guy steal a pole barn here. He drove by the property, saw the lumber company dropping off the pole barn package, knew that the owner didn't live there, hired a local guy to go over and move it to his property down the road, and erect it. Told the guy that the yard had put it in the wrong place. Years later, after a drug bust, they found the building? Btw, the guy was a retired cop.

A bit out of my range and I don't have quite enough tractor to move it in one piece. Got to wonder how they think they can get away with it and turn a profit? The parts not assembled could be redirected but on the completed house the labor to disassemble and re purpose all of it would eat up any profit.
Oh well the prisons are full of people that aren't anywhere near as smart as they think they are.

IIRC, They found the house a short distance away. But it gets stranger. Three people claim to be the owner. One sold it to a neighbor who moved it.

The log cabin was moved about a half a mile across a field just outside Chiloquin last summer.
...
Sheriff Frank Skrah said "This is a situation where 3 parties are claiming ownership, one of the 3 parties sold it to a fourth party."

Geez this reminds me of when Steve Martin hooked up the low rider to the church in "The Jerk"
