Swedish Thieves Mysteriously Steal Four Mobile Homes Worth £215,000 from University of Stockholm Display

In a surprising turn of events, four mobile homes worth a combined total of £215,000 were stolen in Sweden, leaving both the public and police puzzled.

The theft occurred early Saturday morning when these mobile homes, which were on display within a fenced area at the University of Stockholm, went missing.

The mobile homes, each weighing around three tonnes, were reportedly moved using powerful vehicles, as explained by Manuel Kohout, the founder of the company behind the homes, Vagabond Haven.

Upon discovering the empty space where his mobile homes once were, Manuel quickly contacted the authorities and his company posted a wanted list on Facebook.

By the end of the day, two of the stolen homes were recovered in Skogas, just a couple of kilometers south of the university. The final two were found in Tungelsta, Haninge, after locals noticed the homes with a man and a broken-down car in a parking lot.

Manuel, accompanied by the police, retrieved these last two homes.

He expressed his gratitude for the community’s vigilance, stating, “It is absolutely fantastic that the neighborhood was so vigilant.”

Police and Community Response

The mobile homes have been returned to Manuel’s farm in Orsundsbro.

Although the police have a description of the suspect seen with the homes, no arrests have been made yet.

Stockholm police spokesperson Ola Osterling remarked on the unusual nature of the theft, saying, “I have never heard of this before.

Caravans are stolen, but not such large houses on wheels.”

Preliminary investigation leader Jonas Martensson also found the case strange, noting, “It’s a bit strange. It’s planned, but we don’t really know how it went.” The crime is classified as aggravated theft, and the investigation includes further measures such as camera searches.

Community Appreciation and Recent Trends in Theft

Following the recovery of the mobile homes, Manuel took to Vagabond Haven’s Facebook page to thank everyone involved.

He wrote, “Our last two houses were found in Haninge tonight!! They are secured by police and we will soon get them home. We are so excited! Many thanks for all the help we received from all possible places and corners.

Eternally grateful.”

This incident echoes a broader trend of luxury vehicle thefts, including a spate of caravan thefts across Scotland in June.

Criminals have been targeting secure sites and towing away high-value caravans, sometimes in broad daylight.

In March, Police Scotland warned that the increase in staycations was likely to lead to a rise in caravan thefts by organized gangs.

Notable thefts included a £20,000 Swift Sprite Quattro stolen in Kelso and a £9,000 Swift Sterling Europa 600 taken from Stirling. Detective Superintendent Andrew Patrick of Police Scotland highlighted the significant impact of such thefts, emphasizing their commitment to tackling this type of crime and reducing its prevalence in communities.
