Statewide Homes of Grass Valley was preparing to open the 50-foot-long, 11-foot-wide modular home as an office last month when someone drove off with it.<\/p>\n<p>At least one eyewitness saw a tow truck lower the home from its stands and tow it away on the night of Feb. 18 \u2013 no small feat, considering it weighs 20,000 pounds, said Sheri Murray, the company\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They&#8217;re homes on wheels, but they&#8217;re not supposed to be that mobile,&quot; she said. After waiting patiently for nearly two weeks, the company decided to go public with an appeal for help. The mobile home is worth $45,000, Murray said, and it cannot be claimed by insurance until it is found.<\/p>\n<p>Statewide Homes is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of the home, a tan-colored Fleetwood painted with green trim. It features a full-sized kitchen, bathroom, one bedroom and two porches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m thinking somebody is meaning to live in it,\u201d Murray said. \u201cSo I\u2019m hoping whoever has seen a new house move in will call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f541a98970c-pi\" style=\"FLOAT: right\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Loft-Model-with-Double-Porc\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f541a98970c \" src=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c630a53ef01310f541a98970c-320wi\" style=\"MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px\"><\/img><\/a> Anyone with more information may call the Kern County Sheriff\u2019s Department at (661) 861-3110.
