I think it is fitting to bulldoze this operators home, and that of his supervisor.
Stupid needs to stop.
I bet the company employing the crew that did the buldozing is a fianancial dud and will not be able to pay any claim the homeowner succeeds in making against them.
I think there should be a local law that permits the buldozing of a house only with (a) the owner or an owner’s representative present and (b) a permit issued by the town, and (c) that permit not given except to the owner or the owner’s representative and (f) that permit only given with the local ultility companies having verified and marked on the property where lie water, sewer, electric and gas lines as well as any below ground fuel oil storage tank.

THIS woman’s house WAS demolished WHILE SHE was ON vacation!
I am stunned and flabbergasted. If I am this FLABBERGASTED I can’t EVEN imagine how she must FEEL!
Note to self: If I keep a house boarded up for fifteen years, put a “Do Not Bulldoze” sign in front of it.
A nasty lawyer friend of my father did this to someone he didn’t like, while they were gone he had their simple frame home demolished and carted away, leaving a brown spot in the middle of a grass yard.
Not really much of a loss.
The company wouldn’t need to worry about “returning my calls” because I’d be IN THEIR OFFICE!!!
“She can’t even get a call back from the company that tore her house down!”
Lady, you are being too nice. Get your legal-beagle and some muscle (preferably armed muscle) and pay the home office a visit. If not that, know this: in most states you can place a lein on another person’s property without even notifying them. Your legal beagle should already have done that to the tune of several million on the equipment used by the company.
If you visit the company in person don’t forget to mention that the owner could be slapped with a huge fine or even may do hard time if he has any illegals on the payroll.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
At least no one died ... happens often on “no knock warrant” SWAT raids on the wrong house.
Prosser:
But the plans were on display.
Arthur Dent:
On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar.
Prosser:
That’s the display department.
Arthur Dent:
With a torch.
Prosser:
The lights had probably gone.
Arthur Dent:
So had the stairs.
Prosser:
But you did see the notice, didn’t you?
Arthur Dent:
Oh, yes. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign outside the door saying “Beware of the Leopard.” Ever thought of going into advertising?
So I was curious to see what it looked like before it was demolished. Here’s a streetview of it... https://www.google.ca/maps/@33.6977521,-84.3940533,3a,18.7y,169.43h,83.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWIwwNroRbxyAbYPBOHTepw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
Obviously the screwed up but I can see how the demo company made a mistake....
I reckon all her stuff was inside. Geez.
The charges here should be criminal. And anyone involve should already be in jail awaiting trial.
I just googled the story and I’m pretty sure I found the house on Lakewood Ave in SW Atlanta.
Frankly, the company did her a favor by knocking it down. It needs to be cleaned up now, but if the company You Call It We Haul It ( https://www.youcallitwehaulit.com/ ) is found liable they can haul it for free.
Ahhhh yes... Even good ol’ FR uses a Bi-racial main couple in their ads... AI or not. Jeeeze.... how 80s can we be!??
My daughter came home from work one day to find her house partially painted. No idea who did it. We theorized that because there is an East and West of her street with the same number the painters when to the wrong one and discovered their error partway through. And being dipsticks, left without leaving a note taking responsibility. Fortunately it was the same color and she just finished the street facing side and all was ok. But they should have come back and offered to finish the job on their nickel (what I would have done). Yeah, welcome to the real world. No one takes responsibility for their actions.
