ST. GEORGE — With the housing market rising, someone in southern Utah took it upon themselves to steal an entire home by hooking it up to a truck and driving away. And they're on the run.
"It's crazy," Eric Ward, Zion Tiny Homes co-owner, said.
Ward said the entire property in Apple Valley where the tiny home was located is gated with only one way in and out. The tiny home had a ball hitch lock on it, Ward said, and there was no evidence that the perpetrator tried to grind it off. He suspects the thieves chained the home and transported it to a place where they could work on it further before hauling it away again.
"And now it's been seen — I think up close to Idaho — on Saturday night in this tiny truck that should not be pulling that tiny home," he said. "Everyone said it's going slow."
