Well, since there is still an interest in this story, I've looked up the local papers and it appears that I was right all along...the story is largely suspected to be hoax...
However, there is actually a way to steal a pool without spilling water as was explained by a local police: all robber had to do is suck the water with a sump pump with a hose attached and empty it into a sewer system...pools were stolen before using this method...
But this is where the rub is...sump pump is more expensive than that particular pool...
To summarize...it's a blown up kiddie pool that can be bought very cheaply so once again...the story is just probably an attention getter - nothing more...
