This is an incredible story that caught my eye…a Patterson NJ family woke up early Wednesday morning 25 July to discover that their portable swimming pool, filled with water, had disappeared from their backyard. The yard was dry, indicating that the thieves hadn’t even bothered to empty the pool - which was estimated to hold 1000 gallons of H2O - before hauling it away. What moxie! Police are baffled, the neighbors are amazed, and the poor family is chaining down what’s left of their backyard furnishings.
