Maine State Police troopers had little trouble spotting alleged thieves on Sunday. They responded to a caller who reported that a shed was being stolen. The police soon found Matthew Thompson of Lebanon, Timothy James of Pembroke, New Hampshire, and Robert Breton of Milton, New Hampshire towing a 25-foot shed down the road behind their pickup truck.
The men were simply dragging the shed on the road from a foreclosed property.
They also found crystal meth and prescription pills on Thompson. He is now facing charges for unauthorized taking or transfer and police will seek indictments for unlawful possession of a Schedule W drug, reckless conduct, criminal mischief and unlawful possession of a Schedule Z drug.
James and Berton were both charged with theft by unauthorized taking or transfer and are expected to face additional charges.
I guess it is not breaking and entering if you just steal that entire house or shed.
