The stolen cabin was part of the Cabin Specialist’s rental fleet.
Company director Glen Ellis said the cabin was about to be taken to Levin to be rented as a child’s bedroom.
“Now the kid’s going to have to live in the shed,” he said.
Ellis said the 2.4m wide and 4.8m long cabins his company produces sit permanently on trailers.
Each cabin is wired for power with interior and exterior lights.
“They’re just an empty room so people put their own furniture and beds into them,” Ellis said.
“A spare room in your backyard is the motto.
“We’d just like someone who lives next door to spot it and dob the bugger in and have it find its way home so as we can supply it to our needy customers out there.”
