Home-Wrecker: Woman Doesn't Like Neighbors, Demolishes Their HomeST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- When Ana Maria Moreta Folch (above) had issues with her neighbors, she did what most of us would. Scratch that. She had their mobile home demolished.
The Florida Times-Union reports that the 62-year-old St. Johns County, Fla., resident "told a heavy equipment operator she owned the trailer on Dusty Road and wanted it and its septic tank destroyed." She told the contractor Monday that she had a key and that no one was living at the trailer. But the owner, Maria Gottfried, showed up when the demolition was underway and called the police. Moreta Folch was charged with criminal mischief, which is a third-degree felony. She was released Wednesday on $10,000 bail.
Gottfried told police she'd owned the trailer since 2006. She denied having given Moreta Folch a key.
According to the Times-Union: "The arrest report said Moreta Folch had the trailer bulldozed because people who had lived there were unsavory and she suspected they had broken into her car. She said she considered it a favor to her neighborhood."Source: NPR, May 9, 2014.

I would think that the contractor would need to see proof of ownership before they did the work.

Well, she may have done her neighbor a favor, because the judge may just end up making her buy her neighbor a new trailer to replace the one she had demolished.
