ON CAMERA: Thieves swipe kids pool from yard

A five-year-old boy in Nebraska is missing his inflatable swimming pool.

The family’s security camera recorded two thieves stealing it right out of their backyard.

Now as Michelle Bandur reports, the boy’s father is trying to come up with an explanation for his son.

On Father’s Day in the middle of the afternoon, one smiling backyard burglar spies this swimming pool.

“I actually had it notified on my phone and actually saw the whole thing live on my phone,” said Brandon Turner.

Cameras record the entire kiddie pool caper.

“Really? Really? That’s all I could think of..was just…really?” said Turner.

Brandon Turner at the zoo with his kids watches as not one but a pair of predators pilfer his pool.

The first pool prowler can’t lift it on her own, so she calls in reinforcement.

“I just think it’s crazy people would do something like that in just, broad daylight,” said Turner.

Together the thieves drain the water from the pool making it easier to carry away.

“Uhhh! What the?! Oh no!” said Alex Turner.

A puzzled five-year-old Alex just can’t understand why someone would steal his summer fun.

“Why took it? (unintelligible) get the swimming pool?” said Alex.

Now Alex and his older sister Abby find other ways to keep entertained in the backyard.

And this dad doesn’t even have a good explanation to give his children.

“It’s one thing to steal from another person because you believe you need that. It’s another thing to steal from children that’s their happiness right there,” said Turner.

“Stop! Give my swimming pool back. I want my swimming pool back,” said Alex
