The quiet inhabited area L’Horta de Lleida, in Catalonia, was focused on the unusual type of crime: the theft of removable pools. The very last case left a family of shock when they discovered that their pool is four meters long, two meters wide and eighty centimeters completely disappeared, leaving only the lawn, which was pumped 9,000 liters of water. Puta of water, which a year ago would be terrible with the drought in this area.
Thieves showed a thorough design, disassembling the structure in parts and emptying all the contents in the garden, leaving no visible traces. This level of accuracy indicates preliminary knowledge of the soil and organization, which challenges the logic of ordinary thefts.
For this family, this event is especially painful, since this is the second time, when the same type of theft was stolen last year, since the identical pool was stolen.
At the same weekend, criminals tried to break a neighboring house, but activation of anxiety on the theft canceled their plans. This second attempt caused concern for local residents who are wondering if they should be associated with an organized gang specializing in these types of thefts.
The phenomenon spreads: Benicarlo case
The theft of the pool is not an isolated phenomenon in Lleida. In Benicarlo, the neighbor condemned the theft of her removable pool worth 800 euros, 5.5 meters in length, 2.7 meters and 1.2 meters deep, with a capacity of more than 10,000 liters of water. The pool was completely full and ready for use when it disappeared from family property.
The victim says that her husband prepared the space a few days ago, watering the lawn and filled the pool for use. The surprise occurred just on the day when they were going to enjoy the first time when the neighbor asked them whether they robbed them when he did not see the construction in his usual position.
The thefts of the pool demonstrate the adaptation of criminals to new forms of crime, using the advantages of summer arrival and demand for these leisure elements to commit theft, which, although they may seem like a joke, cause significant financial and emotional damage to families.
