N.S. thieves drain, remove swimming pool

ALTON, N.S. (CP) — It's a robbery that puts a whole new slant on the concept of taking a swim.
Rebecca Arthur is at a loss to explain how someone managed to steal her family's above-ground pool earlier this week.
"It wasn't something small and it wasn't something easy for them to accomplish," said Arthur.
"I cannot for the life of me imagine how these people took this pool out of here."
The thieves collapsed the pool on Monday and got away with everything but the ground sheet.
The pool had been set up for just a few days and Arthur's two children were still waiting for the 13,250 litres of water to warm up before this summer's inaugural swim.
"It literally looked like it was beamed up," Arthur said.
