The owners of the property appealed on Facebook in a desperate effort to find the stolen house.
“With a heavy heart I am seeking information on a tiny home stolen from our family property in Beckenham, Christchurch,” they said.
“It’s incredibly sentimental to me, as it was my mum’s home for years before she went into dementia care. It contains special items such as my mum’s artwork, and other Finnish things special to me. It was a home.”
“A huge job to have moved this – they removed six metres of fence and must have had a reasonable vehicle for towing, and a number of people involved,” they said.
The tiny home was spotted on the side of the road in the Opawa area last Monday afternoon.
“Please watch out for me, if you are in the Christchurch area. They have had five days to make it look very different,” the post said.
Police followed several lines of inquiry to find the tiny home and trailer.
