ABCNEWS.com : Thieves Carry Off Man's Dream House: "Thieves made off with Miller's entire cottage, which nestled outside the town of El Dorado in rural Northern California. They took everything � the doors, the shingles, the plumbing, the toothbrush, the bed � everything.
'I drove down the road to where this place should have been and I looked down and there wasn't a house,' Miller said today on ABCNEWS' Good Morning America. 'It's not a big house � just about 10 by 20 [feet]. And, you know, you're kind of amazed. You expect maybe you'll be robbed, but you don't expect somebody to come and take the house.'
They not only took the wooden house, they took a generator, a water tank and even pulled the wheels off a rusted-out 1972 pickup truck.
'You know, it's a great place up there in El Dorado County, in the Sierra foothills but there are some bad people,' said Miller, a retired engineer who lives in Berkeley.
The nearest neighbor to the vacation home lives about a mile away and didn't see anything, Miller said, but he has put up fliers all over the area asking 'Have you seen my house?'
He said that between the fliers and the media coverage the case has been receiving he has been starting to get calls from people who think maybe they have seen the house, and he is hopeful that he will get it back. "
