I at least hope the kids enjoy it as much as mine used to.

A whole giant trampoline? OP, you're too kind; if you wrote something along the lines of "I hope you fall and break your necks", I probably would've given you a star, even if it was edited by staff later.

I'm shocked they'd work that hard.

Detestable.

Thinking to disassemble and haul off would take quite a window of time. Who knew you would be away for that long at a specific time?

Let CSPD know.

This is so sad. I am so sorry that someone did this to your family. I hope they suffer remorse and atone for their behavior. No matter how cynical I get sometimes, I always hope.

I would check with the neighbors to see if anyone has video cameras of their front yards and perhaps get videos of the culprits.

Also if you are that close to the school, I would check with the school to see of they have videos.

Thanks, all of you for the advice. We have a large lot, with significant space outside the backyard, and that's where it was set-up. Indeed, they would have had to disassemble it first. Since we don't go out there everyday, I'm guessing it was done yesterday, Christmas Eve, while we were visiting family in East Texas. We just noticed it today, raking leaves.

If someone is desperate enough to steal a fourteen-foot trampoline, I'm sure their kids will enjoy it, and may need an outdoor activity that doesn't cause trouble. That's how I'm going to think of it, anyway.

Did you have it strapped down to the ground? If not, did you look around to make sure it did not blow away with all the wind? I have known this to happen to several people.

Yes, I did check the area.

May be time to review your home security precautions.. if they are willing to take a giant trampoline, what else may they come back for when they think you're not home?

sorry to hear about the loss.

something this brazen (such a large item and the time involved to disassemble) kind of sounds like an inside job ---- a dishonest neighbor or someone else on the block

I bet the deductible is far more than a used trampoline would be worth.

To replace? Probably.

I just meant now there is one source of risk gone. Less chance of broken bones or other injury. So they are happier at the lowered chance of having to pay out a claim.

So . . . what color was this trampoline?

Black mat, and the frame was the standard silver pipe. No nets or spring cover pad.
