Summary

In September 2022, a Beaver Island Forum poster reported that two 16-foot pressure-treated boards intended for lighthouse work were missing from the Lighthouse School area. Follow-up posts said the lumber had not been found by September 29 and asked for information.

Evidence limits

The report is pseudonymous and preserves no police case number, property record, or later resolution. It should not be described as a confirmed theft; the forum’s own wording allowed that the material might have been taken by mistake.

Sources

  1. A pseudonymous poster reported that two 2x8, 16-foot pressure-treated boards valued at $1,000 had gone missing from the Lighthouse School area and were intended for lighthouse work. The thread says Deputy Joe was aware; a September 29 follow-up said the lumber had not appeared, and a later post solicited information. This is an unverified community report, not a police report or finding of theft.
