BOWDOINHAM, Maine - A Maine family is in shock after the Bowdoinham house they donated to a family who lost everything to Hurricane Katrina was trashed and abandoned, reported WMTW-TV in Portland. Albert and Nancy Poisson of Dresden decided to let William and Frances Gardner and their two daughters live in the house for a year, free of charge.
But last week, the Poissons found some of their appliances gone, their hardwood floor marked up and trash strewn throughout the house.
The Poissons found the Gardners through Catholic Charities of Maine and said they had been unable to track the family down since they vanished last week.
On Tuesday afternoon, Frances Gardner was arrested in Rhode Island after deputies said she fled the state after committing a crime.

Thank you Chocolate city.
Homicides in Houston are up 25% and now another good samaritan gets burned.

I live in Louisiana. We vacationed in Maine last summer, and we found it to be refreshingly clean.
Tough lesson. Shame they couldn't have helped some needy Louisiana folks that had some class.
To: Ellesu
Some of these folk obviously belong below sea level during storm season so it's imperative they're found.

This should go under the heading of "who gives a D*mn" it sure doesn't need an entire article devoted to it. Must be a slow news day. :)

Notice theheadline only claims "Accused of trashing ..."
As if there doubts, or implying the "victims" (of unfair persecution and harrassment) were the hurricane evacuee's, not the family who's house was ruined.

I commend anyone who decides to help someone in need, but one thing that i've learned over the last few years as I read this & as a participating director in the local Chamber of Commerce is that: When you think about doing something nice for someone, don't. (3 reasons) #1 is that they won't appreciate it. #2 more than likely they will resent it. #3 They'll bleed you dry. That may be a pessimistic attitude, but trust me it's good advice.
