You don't miss a thing, do you?

Actually, judging by the size of the pool and considering that it's inflatable, my educated guess would be that it's less than 10 quid cause it's probably $19.99 on a good day which is something like 8 quid...

Now...knowing well some parts of Paterson, I'd say that when owners come down from whatever they took a night before, they will probably remember that they never had a pool in the first place...

it was an insurance job... the americans always think big

Well, since there is still an interest in this story, I've looked up the local papers and it appears that I was right all along...the story is largely suspected to be hoax...

However, there is actually a way to steal a pool without spilling water as was explained by a local police: all robber had to do is suck the water with a sump pump with a hose attached and empty it into a sewer system...pools were stolen before using this method...

But this is where the rub is...sump pump is more expensive than that particular pool...

To summarize...it's a blown up kiddie pool that can be bought very cheaply so once again...the story is just probably an attention getter - nothing more...
