SPRINGDALE, Wash. – Authorities say a log cabin that a family reported stolen off its foundation has been found in rural northeast Washington.
Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen says deputies following a tip found the cabin Thursday morning about 10 miles from its original location. He says the structure had been placed on stilts and was sitting at the end of a private road east of Springdale.
WATCH: A family received the shock of their lives in April when a thief took off with more than their camping gear. Someone stole their entire cabin off of its foundation near Loon Lake, Washington.

Allen says deputies are getting a search warrant to get onto the property and inside the cabin. He says he has identified suspects but declined to name them.
