A man in the US city of Albuquerque, New Mexico was blown away when he stepped out of his home one morning to discover mystery thieves had stolen his roof. 

All Cory Archuleta roof's shingles had been torn off and cleaned up. Neighbours said that they had seen a work crew with a flat-bed trailer remove the shingles over the past days, but nobody suspected anything.

"They just figured it was part of the sale of the house," Mr Archuleta said. He is in the process of selling the house. 

Mr Archuleta told KRQE station that he suspected the roofers had showed up at the wrong address, though he's still waiting for the culprits to come forward. 

He's now been forced to look for a new roof - though thankfully, his insurance agent has said that he's covered.
