Couple tells police: ‘I need to report a stolen house’

A couple in Houston want to know what happened to their home.

Joe and Lonnie Harrison spoke to KTRK after they discovered someone took their vacation home they had planned to use as an escape from city life.

The prefab home was located on a 10-acre property in Madisonville, Texas.

The house was there when the Harrisons visited in November, but when they visited last week, the house was gone, KTRK reported.

"All I saw were blocks and pipes sticking out. The whole house was gone. Everything except the blocks," Lonnie Harrison told KTRK.

They called police to see if they could find out what happened and to hopefully recover the building.

"I said, 'You know this is really going to sound strange, but i need to report a stolen house.' They were like, 'A house?' I said yes. We have 10 acres and had a little cabin and the cabin is gone," Jo Harrison told KTRK.

The Harrisons said that whoever took the cabin also took the chairs they had left on the patio.
