Seems like they Sheriff could have had it towed off the highway and had her billed.

According to the article, that option was attempted using professional equipment and a licensed, insured towing company - but that option ultimately did not work either.

She claims she lost a $5,000 home in her little poorly planned escapade - I wonder how much money her nine hour standoff with reality cost the people trapped behind her who were trying to get to work, deliver goods, etc.

Tens of thousands, at least.

her “little standoff” was over her home.

I see we have a few here having a dry chuckle at the misfortunes of a person who is living on the lower end of the eccononmy however this has to be seen from her perspective.

She need to move her home and that was all the money she could afford to pay.

She did not ask for public assistance. Something we here on freerepublic.com seem to applaud.

It strikes me that the “can’t be done” analysis is the same limited problem solving that occures when some computer tech can’t figure out a problem and just says “blame windows, reinstall and erase all yer data.”

I am simply stating the WHY she was so tenacious. It was her home, it was her castle, even if it is only a low life trailer in the eyes of those posting here.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about lost man-hours during stupid events that tie up traffic.
