What...how...WHY?!

Completely full, 10 foot pool stolen - apparently with all the water in it?

Full swimming pool stolen, not a drop spilled - CNN.com

Re What...how...WHY?!

Interesting.

I wonder how hot it is there? Is it possible they quietly tipped it and poured out the water and it dried before the woman woke up?

I don't know . . . it's just so wacky.

Run a hose from the pool to the storm sewer.

Re What...how...WHY?!

Siphoning I was thinking of - just couldn't think where. Storm drain would be perfect.

They almost would have had to use some kind of pump, but you would think that would have woken up the home owners. Crazy, indeed.

What MJ said. And if you used more than one hose, you'd be surprised how quickly you can drain a pool.

Re What...how...WHY?!

Dory-
I was always "Hot Lips" but they were red for a while. Then last spring my pink affliction/obsession came back with a vengeance. My life is pink--purse, phone, eyeglass case, you name it. So, I needed to become pink here too!

PS, Welcome back!!
