(UPI) -- Police in Canada are seeking information regarding a stolen tower used to support a cellphone booster and wireless Internet.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba shared a notice about the 68-foot tower on Thursday, stating it had been stolen Sunday from Egg Lake, north of Winnipeg.

"The tower was disassembled and loaded onto a trailer, behind a red Dodge dually truck," police said.

I heard about a guy that stole an election for US president! And he wasn't even a citizen.

Press covered it, start to finish, even though it took 14 months.

Police stayed home. Never saw a thing.

That takes some effort. Extra points if they were drunk and it was done on a dare!
