Thieves dig up in-ground swimming pool

OSLO, Norway - A Norwegian family's swimming pool wasn't just bolted down, it was in the ground. But that wasn't impediment to a band of determined thieves.

When the Nicolaysen family visited their mountain cabin over the weekend, they discovered a big hole in the yard in place of the swimming pool that had been installed 20 years ago.

"This can't be, we thought," Arild Nicolaysen told state radio network NRK on Monday. "We didn't think it was possible. No one can steal a swimming pool."


Evidently, someone did.

At some point since early November, when the family closed up the cabin for the winter, their 16-foot-diameter pool and all its equipment was uprooted and stolen.

"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.

Another interesting trend is stealing ATM machines, get a front-end loader and just take the whole thing, funny stuff...

a few years ago, there was a guy who took a truck and went full speed backwards into a Quik Trip here in KC. Then he jumped out, had a buddy help throw the ATM in the back of the truck and was gone in under 30 seconds. By time everyone got up to see what happened (and after the dust cleared), the truck was gone... free and clear.

I'm personally waiting on someone to steal the key to the main Bose headquarters...and change all the locks

That is crazy though...who woulda thought someone would steal a pool....

Maybe next time they will put a layer of concrete on the bottom as well...lol

If that's the same incident I recall (old KC native here), the thief's license plate from the rear bumper was found in the cleanup. Seems he got a knock on the door while he was counting out his stolen cash. Bad boys, bad boys whatcha' gonna do...............
