Police Look for Stolen Slide 01 Aug 12

It didn’t walk away by itself …

Thief River Falls Police are on the watch for a slide, stolen from a family swing-set on South Markley sometime over the weekend.

The slide was taken from the back yard of a home in the 7 hundred block, where the blue and white swing set has stood for years, today looking oddly incomplete and rather sad without the matching slide.

Officers say the slide had been attached to the play ground equipment with hose clamps. Anyone with any information should contact police – of course the slide could also be returned – no questions asked.

    I wish they’d find my son’s brand-new bike that was stolen out of our front yard on the northwest side of town over two months ago. I guess slides are more important items.

    I think its too bad that the slide was stolen, but why is it newsworthy? Just like you said, why is it more important than bikes that are stolen?

  • Not Frustrated

    Frustrated,
    All your comments seem to be complaints about how tough your life is and how you feel somebody owes you something. I am just wondering if you have a job or are you living off the system???

    Stealing a slide is pretty bizarre and is kind of news worthy. Bikes that are left out in front yards get stolen all the time. Though I feel bad that the slide and wouldn’t want someone backing a truck into my yard and stealing, but I am kind of happy that this is the news story of the day. I am really tiring of really bad things like holding up taxis, and kidnapping ex-girlfriends in our small town

    All citizens should be extremely excited that this is a news item. No one was killed,raped or kidnapped. Not to mention that it is not another city board disaster either. Yep ,theft sucks whether it is a bike or a slide.

    Maybe the slide owner works for trfradio
