The GPS slant is significant IMO.
OhmyGod!
Geez...do people have no common sense? Read the # on the mailbox and on the house, for starters.../duh
Unreal that anyone would rely only on GPS for something like this without verifying the street address. Actually, it seems pretty stupid to even use GPS for locating a specific house to be dismantled. Numerous old fashioned ways to identify the correct house.
I came home a couple of weeks ago and a large Black Locust tree in my front yard was...GONE.
The dumb ass company cut down the tree, when they were only supposed to prune it. Cut it to the ground.
Bastards.
It seems there is no shortage of nitwits in this country. The demolition company should have a policy that they do not raze a house unless the property owner/customer meets them at the job site.
Even in 1994 GPS (civilian) was only off 50ft. Idiots
If I were going to tear down a house, I would first check to see that the electric, gas, and water were turned off. It might also be a red flag if the supposedly vacant house was still filled with furniture, appliances, clothing, food in the fridge, and the like.
Idiots.
How could this happen to a private business?
This demo crew must have been former SWAT team members. They tend to get the wrong address from time to time.
“Hello. ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’? We have a special assignment for you...”
The house was furnished and full of heirlooms!
The demolition company should be sued into dust, and no one involved should ever work again.
Apparently it’s illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of mental retardation.
It seems that this sort of thing isn’t all that unusual, though not quite as extreme...
A friend came home from work one day, and found that 1/2 of his roof had been removed. It turns out that a roofing company came out and began working on the wrong house... His! The roofing company offered to replace the shingles that they had already removed, but his lawyer convinced them to pay the roofing company of his choice to come out and replace his roof, which was less than 2 years old at the time.
Nowhere near as bad as losing the entire house, but still...

My mom is on her condo committee. Last year, they contracted with a company to tear off and reshingle one of the 20 buildings. She came home to see them doing the tearoff on her building. Wrong one.
