M. Spivey, the owner, had reported Tuesday that the house at 129 Dean St. was missing, but he said he hadn't checked up on it since early 1962.

Another neighbor reported seeing a man last winter carry off a bathtub. Because the house wasn't stolen, at least all in one lump, police figure there was no use to hunt for every plank, nail and bathtub.
