The trailer was already destroyed (wheels came off) by the time the sheriff got there. Further attempts to unblock the road by moving the trailer did not work and were causing greater damage - how many times must that be said before you get it. There was not a better solution as to the saving of the house.

As for allowing more time to clear out belongings, maybe so.

Actions have consequences. That is the only perspective I have.

Somehow I don't think the sheriff would've moved a trailer without checking the wheels. Even if it were my property, and my situation, I would have to empty it out and say goodbye. Admittedly I would kick myself and say it's my fault, and so are the consequences. The last thing I would want to see is a reporter to broadcast my stupidity far and wide.
Could the trailer have been saved? Yes. All it would take is to leave it where it sat (to hell with the traffic) and reinforce it inside and out, then bring in professional riggers and a crane. Probably wouldn't run more than about $150,000 and about three days time.
