KGW 8 NewsSPRINGDALE, Wash. (AP) – Authorities say a log cabin that a family reported stolen off its foundation has been found in rural northeast Washington.
Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen says deputies following a tip found the cabin Thursday morning about 10 miles from its original location. He says the structure had been placed on stilts and was sitting at the end of a private road east of Springdale.
Chris Hempel tells The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane that her family drove to their cabin Tuesday and found the entire 10-by-20-foot structure missing.
Investigators think that whoever took the cabin was living in it.
Allen says deputies are getting a search warrant to get onto the property and inside the cabin. He says he has identified suspects but declined to name them.
In February, a home was reported stolen in Klamath County.
People will steal anything that isn’t nailed down.
And occasionally things that are.

this is the 4th cabin theft i have heard of in recent months.
I think this is great. Just grab the whole goddamn house and set it up ten miles down the road, and you’re home.
Sounds like something the lunatics around here would do.
I’d like to know how and on what they transported a 10×20 cabin.
Really not as hard as it sounds
complete houses can be moved, that are way larger and weigh much more
I just moved a 12×20..
BTW i also jacked up an entire home 1700 SF , about 10 years ago for some foundation and leveling work
its amazing what a bunch of 20Ton bottle jacks and “stepping up” can move
