NE Washington Stolen.....Burglary

[Ghost Hunter]

They stole...the showerhead too!?

Mind blown. 

They didn't have the finishing touches in where Ridgeratt was at.

Horrible. Sorry for your family.

That doesn't really look like a local, spur of the moment breakin like we've had around there. Suspect that was someone much more organized and, hate to say, stuff won't show up on any local markets. Not the usual stuff the druggies around there snap up. You couldn't just drive that stuff out in the open around Hunters or someone would have noticed.  Really sorry to hear about this and sure hope they catch the bas_____s that did it

Stuff went out in the wee hours, when everyone who works is asleep for the night.  Couple of weeks ago a LC245 excavator disappeared off a site, that was NOT a simple deal...those move on lowboys.  Its probably 2-4 states away by now.

So while i HOPE they catch the bastids, its thin soup.  I'll watch the local ads for matching items. 

And Yes...old school justice is whats needed as the LEO's hands are tied.  Just do not bury them on YOUR property, NF works.

Problem with SSS Is things can be dug up carrion eaters scatter everything

If we addict the wolves to meth maybe they'll start eating tweakers.

Unless this showerhead is gold plated or something, someone is building themselves a house with reclaimed (stolen) materials.


Sorry to hear this happened to your sis, and others.

Is was burnt bronze.....but definitely not gold.  They apparently had a refrigerator and stove because they left those too.

Or they are just tweakers?  I was burglarized once and they took/left the weirdest stuff.  They left tools like cordless drills but took a clear plastic dog stocking off the xmas tree that had a dog bone in it.  They took a bic lighter off the fire place but left $100 bucks in change in jar on the counter.  Who knows what goes through a tweaker's head.

Disassembling a small house seems over the top for a tweaker!!

[boneaddict]

Is there such thing as a reverse craigslist add......meaning "looking for Kubota tractor, willing to pay top dollar" and see if anyone contacts.   

[h20hunter]

For sure...go online fishing!

The more that is identified as to what was taken and what was left this sounds like it was well pre planned job and took at least a couple of days unless they had a crew and equipment moving trailers, so much for observant meighbors

Knowing what I think I know......I think this was going to be a quick snatch and grab of a vacation cabin.  Once they found the bigger items, I think they likely stayed the night and or came back for the big items.  This was not an in and out job.  It appears they had a dog with them and a couple people.  I'm trying not to give to much information.....but yet enough to raise the alarm for others in the NE corner and for those who may come across the stolen items. 

There has been a rash of break-ins in the area over the last couple years.  It sounds like there is a couple of groups / gangs that run the area.  Rumor has it the post office in hunters go broken into around Christmas as well and lots of packages stolen.  Sounds like they caught some of that group and they were from one of the reservations Spokane / Colville.  I would think that would have made local news / papers but I have not been able to find anything on it yet. 

I'm hoping the deputies can be as proactive as I have been and maybe piece a little bit of this puzzle together.  These guys were not overly intelligent and there were items left behind that give a good chance of tracking them down.  Whether or not we find the items or can prove it....well that's another thing. 

If we are able to prove anything and put a face / name to any of the people involved....I will make them famous in the area.  Pics, billboards, names, etc.   People need to know who the scum are so they can run them off.

My guess is that since the Kubota had to be trailered out, it is probably already across the state line. Obviously this was not a drive-by burglary. It might have been at first but this took some prior planning and heavy equipment. A camera in hindsight would have been a blessing. Hopefully they have insurance? Having experienced several burglaries myself, although nothing of this magnitude, I know the feeling of being violated and the thoughts of revenge that accompany that. Had some kick in my front door, pepper spray the dogs and steal some of my guns during broad daylight once. Luckily my wife was not home. I think the dogs barking probably saved me from more losses. The only other thing they stole was a baggie filled with fresh catnip. We do still laugh about that part when we think of them trying to smoke some of it.

This is just terrible. Nothin worse than a thief.

This may be a long shot, but if there is anything that you think they certainly touched, it may be worth pressing the deputy to take some finger prints. Many Many times they do not lift prints not sure if its a budget or time issue but it gets overlooked a lot.

All felons get their fingerprints taken either before or after conviction and they have a data base that they can run those through. Maybe someone pops up. Best of luck and again so sorry this happened to you sister and her family.
