A Missouri woman was heartbroken to wake up and realize her tiny wooden mobile home, her passion project of two years, was stolen.
Meghan Panu of St. Louis, constructed the 12 by 20 feet cedar home by herself, spending $20,000 crafting her miniature dream home.
The millennial had recently graduated from Webster University and built the home as a part of her senior thesis in environmental studies, joining the fad of minimalist style living.
However, that dream was suddenly crushed over the weekend when a pick-up truck allegedly hitched onto the tiny hipster house and rode off into the night.
Missouri woman Meghan Panu is pleading for help in locating her tiny house that she constructed herself, after it was stolen over the weekend
She spent two years and $20,000 to build the home as a part of her senior these in environmental studies
On Sunday she posted a plea on her Instagram St. Louis Tiny Living for help in locating the home after it disappeared some time between Friday night and Saturday morning
Panu says she got a call on Saturday morning asking if she moved the tiny home overnight. She said she did not and realized it was stolen.
She posted a desperate plea for help on Sunday on her Instagram St. Louis Tiny Living after finding just a few blocks of wood where her tiny mobile home once stood.
'You hear about stolen cars and trailers all the time but this is a stolen house. So it's shocking in so many ways and it sticks out,' she said to KMOV.
She said she last parked the home on the corner of Michigan and Gravois avenues, near a Refab building supply store.
She says the home was stolen between 10.30pm on Friday to 11am on Saturday.
'There's such little regard for the effort, and the time, and the love that I've put into this, and I think that's what's the most frustrating to me - that it's not just a material possession,' Panu said
The cedar home is 12 feet tall and 20 feet wide. She was in the process of finishing and furnishing the interior and planned to move into the home in the spring
She updated her followers on Monday saying the house was last seen on highway I-40 heading towards California
Panu is now frantically going through surveillance cameras of businesses in the area to try and catch the culprit.
Some residents have reported seeing a red Ford pick-up truck pulling the home.
'It sticks out, it's tempting to take but I put a lot of love and passion and effort into this project, so I just want it back,' Panu said.
'I’m just hoping that maybe state patrol will flag it and pull it over, but in the meantime it’s just been a waiting game,' she added to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
On Monday evening she updated her Instagram followers saying the house was spotted on the I-40 highway heading towards California.
Locals said they saw a Ford red pick-up truck hitching and towing away the tiny house
'It's been a hectic few days, but we're getting this house back one way or another. Thanks for the love,' she wrote to her followers on Monday
'It's been a hectic few days, but we're getting this house back one way or another. Thanks for the love,' she posted.
Panu said dedicated hundreds of hours to the home and was still working on its interior. She had planned to furnish it and move in by spring.
'We were working eight-hour days, several days out of the week. So, I would go from my classes at Webster, and I would drive out to Ballwin and work on the house, and I loved that. I loved the hustle of that,' she said to KTVI.
Such tiny, minimalistic homes have become a popular fad for conservationists and those seeking to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
'There's such little regard for the effort, and the time, and the love that I've put into this, and I think that's what's the most frustrating to me - that it's not just a material possession,' she said.
'It's not just a car. It's a place where I was going to sort of build roots and grow in my community,' she added.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Panu's tiny house is asked to call the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department at 314-231-1212.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
