I want a share story with you ...


My friend just talked to me, and she was very upset.

She and her parent were preparing packed the foods, stuffs, TVs returning to their 2nd vacation home sit on private 65 acre near Canada's line. They arrived and surprised that their "aluminum or metal roofing" were Gone! Obviously, that They have stolen it and money recycle? Their house does have slight damage from leaking rain into the house's bare roof! :squint:
 
That happens to houses left alone. Thieves take copper pipes, and strip copper from wiring.
Must be getting valuable for the metal roofing too.
 
Sound like that was THIEF!!! TSK TSK! People are desperate for money due to economy or laid off. They may be clever to observe each houses that not used for long time. I don't know. That's awful! :(
 
aww thats so bummer for your friends' vacation has been ruined. did they make report to the police about it? that sucks. :(
 
Yeah, really sucks!...I'd be shocked!..The roof??...Think it would have been much easier to steal something inside the house....but the roof....HAHA!... first time I've heard that!

Hope they have home owners insurance....
 
Perhaps it was stolen as a replacement for someone that is down on their luck. Check new buildings as well. They may have flipped the material over to hide the "used" looking side.
 
They steal the metals because they can sell the metals for money. Hopefully they can take care of it soon..
 
Deperate times call for desperate measures...for some people. It is a sad thing this happened to you friend.
 
:laugh2:

Now Their house's roof cover with blue tarp!


She told me that It's taken care by insurance. They are Hiring Contraction to install Charcoal Shingle roofing, so They will not steal it again! :)

However, She told me that Shingle roof will be ugly on their wood logs cottage home! :|
 
No offense, but the metal roof with a log home could not have looked good. I think she upgraded.
 
How does one "steal" a roof?

lol I was thinking "the roof"?

I have never ever heard that someone would steal a roof. That's the first for me too.
 
Sadly this is happening.
An elderly lady in my area lives in a very old house that was sided with the original aluminum siding. Some thieves actually removed all the siding and sold it at the scrap yard.

This crime has nothing to do with economy or desperation it has only to do with thieves and opportunity to make a buck at someone elses expense.

On the local story, the idiots were caught because they went to a local scrap yard with good security cameras and used their own names to sell the stuff, jail time for them, but the lady's house is a mess and you cant just nail back up siding once it has been torn off and bent up.
