MOSCOW (AP) - Returning home after an absence can mean unpleasant surprises - a leaky roof, a pet's mess, even a break-in. But a Russian woman got a nastier surprise when she returned from her country house: her home was gone, torn down mistakenly by construction workers clearing a site, according to a report Thursday on NTV television.

"There was nothing left, not even a log," Lyudmila Martemyanova said, bundled against the cold and standing on a snow-covered lot in the center of the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod.

A local prosecutor, Nikolai Govorkov, said a construction company tore down the wrong building - Martemyanova's, instead of one nearby that was marked for demolition.

Now there really IS NO place like home.

Kind of an empty feeling, I suppose.

I bet she was crushed. Just destroyed over this.

As was her house...

Wow!
Teh Rove is like sooo powerful...

[Lauri]

so in Russia, this woman has two homes?


Hmm...

I'd bet money, that they bulldozed her home fully aware it was hers and they had no legal right to.

We also have people this stupid, unfortunately.  The Russkis have always had a problem with people taking their instructions literally regardless of the obvious bad consequences (i.e. obvious even to the them at the time) for fear of the consequences if they didn't.  Granted, our problem is not as widespread, since it is limited to Democrats who actually have jobs where they can screw up this way....
