Following a lumber heist in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan, Mounties traced the stolen wood to a unique source in what they're calling an "extremely Canadian case," according to the Penticton Herald.
Someone had left the would-be fence posts piled on their property, only to discover them missing. RCMP were called on Friday, May 3, and quickly began to investigate the theft.
The missing fence posts were soon spotted in a nearby waterway.
Constable Conrad Rickards from the Porcupine Plain RCMP department said “A beaver—or beavers—helped themselves to the stash of posts and used them to help build a dam.”
Rickards attempted to locate the thief, with no luck. He says no charges will be laid.
