    This is why companies need to have insurance.

    So something not adding up.

    You think someone wanted the land?

      I think the house was abandon and she even claims it was boarded up. Good chance the county or city allowed this to happen. I have property in a county and the city council in a local town says that if your home looks abandon or trash they will seize your property clean it up then bill you for said clean up. He was very proud of this.

      Also how she says she spoke to attorneys and none will take her case and she in limbo means that she has no case and no recourse. I like to know why?

        I don’t see where it said no lawyer will take her case. Just that there hasn’t been legal action yet.

      It goes way beyond insurance and monetary compensation. There needs to be criminal liability for destroying someone’s home.

        If the building was in fact “boarded up”, then it might be hard to argue that it was someone’s home. At least in bankruptcy law inhabited places do have special protections against seizure.

        The cops wouldn’t like that. They like to be able to destroy people’s homes with no repercussion.

          I get that you’re being facetious, but even then they’d obviously have immunity if any laws changed. Cops always coppin’.
