I was headed to the cabin this weekend and while passing my sisters property noticed the gate was open. A quick u-turn and I was headed into a scene that made me want to vomit. I immediately notice the lock was cut. Upon reaching their cabin and shop I notice the doors were kicked in and large garage door was completely blown off the rails. After clearing the house (hoping to find the culprit).....thank god for them I did not....reality set it. They had been burglarized and lots of big dollar items were gone. Called the sheriff and had to break the news to my sister and brother in law.
I doubt anything will be recovered but....you never know. Couple bigger ticket items that may be easy for people in the area to identify.
Kubota L2350 with La450s loader.
Kubota 3pt rototiller (almost new)
3pt brush mower....(not sure on make but is pictured on the tractor) May also be a kubota
2007 Yamaha Grizzly 450 quad
Lots of electronics / movie projectors / etc.
This was just north of Hunters, WA and it is thought the break in happened in the last 3-4 weeks.
[b
Reward is tabled for now. May have a suspect but the cops now need to prove it. They have been given the information but now they need to link them to the crime. Fingers crossed.

I think that those GPS trackers are getting better all the time, like another poster mentioned. Some of them can be programmed with a "geofence", a perimeter beyond which an alarm is sent to the owner.

I hate thieves with a passion. Biggest problem is there is no real recourse. They get caught and nothing happens. I know this for a fact...
Need a little old school justice.
I'll forward the info into people I know over there.
Post by: jrebel on March 14, 2021, 06:37:27 PM
The deputy that arrived was one of the coolest deputies I have met. Super positive and active in documenting everything. Appeared confident they would eventually catch up to whoever did this.
Man this crap really grinds my gears. I’m tired of everyone busting their butt working to get nice stuff just to have some POS tweakers come in and take it. I really hope karma comes down on these guys hard.
HillHound.....I couldn't agree more. My brother-in-law is retired from the coast guard after twenty years of service and is now working his second career. My sister is an acct. semi retired working on building a business as her second career. They have worked hard to get where they are to have this happen makes me sick to my stomach. This is their retirement property that they purchased a few years ago. They have made it their own and worked hard to get it where it is......and these assssshatss come and take a piece of it away.
It's not about the money.....its about the violation of their personal space and property.

Post by: jrebel on March 14, 2021, 07:32:58 PM
My guess is they were there for the easy Pickens and came back for the big items. Looks almost as if they spent the night. It really is disgusting. They took a ton of stuff. Silverware, broom and dust pan, blankets, coffee pot, movies, etc. they even took the shower head.
Our entire state has a meth and heroin problem. These crackheads thrive off our liberal government not holding them accountable. Add that to a huge county with limited Leo resources and this happens. :bash: :bash:

This is by Deer Park.
He had just bought it and the realtor had not pulled the lock box off the gate yet.
The photo of him and I was when he was showing it to his mom and I.
They left just enough studs to keep the roof standing. Since it had a 40 year comp roof. I think they are planning on a return trip. Once the roof comes down, they can saw it up in sections and then strip it out at their leisure in a new place.

.Had I caught them, there would have been some old school justice. The crappy part about that is....they would have hung me for it. These meth head dirt bags get away with stuff like this and the good guys go to jail when they extract their last few teeth with boot. :bash: :bash:With a front bucket on the tractor doesn't the saying I have a gun and Shovel and know how to use both apply?

Lots of pre planning and looking suspicious goes in to these types of crime spree's. Someone had to see something odd and they just haven't realized its important info yet.

Funny you say that....the deputy I talked to said the same thing. Said their hands are tied!! My guess is the freak show will only get worse as time goes on.

Neighbor flew around there in his helicopter quite a bit and says there are a lot of off the grid, semi hidden homesteads around there. I've run into a few when I got off the main drags myself. I'd be almost tempted to hire a small plane to cruise around those hills a bit and see if just maybe they parked some of that stuff outside. Not as many of those "homesteaders" as there used be, bit still few hidden away up there.
I would be willing to volunteer for seat time with an extra set of eyes. Reward would be finding the lowlife.

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

If you don't want to call the cops, just call me with names and proof and I will take care of it to keep all parties 100% anonymous. PM me if you would like.....I have some identifying docs that were left behind but do not want to post them on the open forum in case they are unrelated.

When I worked at a bank, they said the average bank robbery had 20-40 min of planning involved. This takes much more than that. Sounds like an organized crime ring of some kind.

I saw where lumber went up 140% during this
The original post. The folks who did this had plenty of time to recon what was there and came prepared. How many people would question a tractor on a trailer on a rural road around hunters.
A couple of months ago they found a person who had borrowed 2 new tractors from a dealer in Spokane on his property.

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.

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. :bash:

Post by: jrebel on March 15, 2021, 04:36:25 PM
Id be thinking the stolen property most likely found a new home just to the south. Doubt it was anything other than someone local gone midnight shopping. Get some driveway cams and hide them high and or at plate height.
Cant trust many folks around here, buddies stuff was stolen because neighbor gal told her meth supplier when the coast was clear.
Yes....the one cam they had got stolen and was primarily set up for wildlife. Now they will have a full security system installed. They have cell service there so a few cell cameras will also be placed in strategic locations.

As I drove up the driveway for the first time, I noticed a couple pieces of firewood laying in the driveway. I thought that was very weird as there is not much timber and definitely not any firewood on the property that fresh. After clearing the structures I walked around outside taking pics of things that were strewn across the property. Found some mail with addresses as well as a timber cutting permit with a name and date. What are the chances there would be cut firewood in the driveway and a timber cutting permit that clearly fell out of a truck into the driveway..... :dunno: :dunno:
The signature was something to be desired so it took some time and research....but I think we have a decent lead. Now if it can be proved??? Only time will tell.

....weeks after the fact I ruin my life and my family’s life when I go to prison for hunting down a worthless meth head. The cops have the same info as I have. It’s in their hands. If It is proven he is one of them.... them I’ll make him famous and post his pics everywhere. He will get his one of these days.

Post by: WoodHacker on March 24, 2021, 10:37:55 AM
In December 2020 we bought 10 acres near Colville and this thread certainly justifies our decision to install cellular trail cameras (Cuddeback) for wildlife AND for security. Not quite as efficient as the Ring cameras we have at home but we should know of trespassers within a day or sooner. Hope to have the system running in a week...
Good luck with recovering all that was stolen.
