Summary
In late October 2020, the Port of St. James Association reported that 14 salvaged utility poles stored at the Stables Campground had gone missing during a large utility-pole replacement project. A follow-up said a county deputy had helped resolve the situation, but the forum does not identify a suspect or document recovery details.
Evidence limits
This is a qualified local incident report, not an official theft finding or police record. The words “theft” and “resolved” are retained as reported claims and should not be treated as proof of criminal conduct or a completed recovery.
