Just read the article. She put the house up for sale. Her son noticed about 5 people measuring the driveway. From one of them she found out she guy claimed to be the landlord and was getting quotes to get the driveway replaced. When confronted, he said it was a mistake and he gave them the wrong address. Said it would never happen again. Next thing you know, her driveway is gone. This guy continues to say he was not involved. A new driveway was donated to her 🤙🏽👍🏼
@Thebeginningisnear-rh6rk yes, she spent a ton of money uprooting her entire driveway so she could have a chance of getting a few dollars on gofundme. Sometimes people do so many mental acrobatics trying to prove someone made up a story that they end up sounding more ridiculous than the people who Actually go around making up stories.
That "holding the driveway for ransom" remark was funnier than it should have been lol. I could just imagine someone getting a call like this: "If you ever want to see your precious driveway again, send $2 million to the RV 5 blocks away from your house. Don't call the police, either. I've got a sledgehammer, and you'll never see your driveway again unless you send the $2 million. You have ten hours."
The driveway struggles in its restraints and looks down to see it's sitting on top of a pile of rubble from the last driveway whose owner didn't play ball.

I used to be in the driveway business and this happens more than you think, it’s not a “theft” usually a 3rd party demo gets called in to remove the existing driveway, sometimes the info gets mixed up and they take out the wrong driveway. We’ve on 2 occasions had 3rd party up and bounce and try not to claim the damage on their end because they did t make contact with someone before starting
@@alpacaprincess7797 I used to work for a paving company and the only job we ever did at night was painting the lines on a new parking lot and that was only because we just decided to do it then instead of doing it over 2 days.
And someone seems to have circled the driveways and made arrows and a path using yellow spray paint and it leads directly to a work van. Strange.@@shibainu2528
"Yes, it was my number one concern. I lied awake at night, terrified that I might wake up and my driveway would be gone. My next greatest fear was that someone would steal the freeway, and then I'd be late for work."
I once helped a landscape laborer steal a lawn after he got stiffed by his boss. It was newly laid so we just rolled it up and put it on the truck, he got they money owed to him from the homeowner to get the lawn back before it dried out and died.
So the home owner had to pay twice for the lawn? Sounds like the boss got a free payday and gets to blame the whole thing on the worker......doesn't sound that great tbh lol.
They got it done in one night, this person had experience with concrete. My guess is that the homeowner got a new driveway and didn't pay the contractor. Contractors will tear up their work if they get fucked over. Don't mess with them
My guess is the stolen driveway was actually some contractor doing a driveway at the wrong house. At some point during the demolition they realized it was the wrong house and left.
"Out of anything that could have been stolen, did you ever think your driveway would be stolen?" Toothless Jim: "Well, I had a feeling it was gonna happen some time."
I used to work demolition. A forklift could not do this. You'd need a bobcat with a jackhammer attachment, a concrete saw, and sledgehammers. It would be INCREDIBLY loud
well it was a bobcat with what appeared tp be forks in the image, and as long as you can get a fork under the slap (and if its a thin enough slab) you can snap it down and haul it away fairly easily
Stuff like this used to happen to my grandma a lot, what they do is various work on the property (put in a sidewalk, remove/add trees, lawn work) without being asked and then billing the person afterward. My old grandma had no idea she hadn't asked or that they were scamming her
I'm glad I watched this video. I was keeping my driveway in my backpocket thinking no-one cares enough about it to steal it anyway. I'll switch that bad boy to my front pocket for now.
I think the idea of the scam was that they sold her the driveway, got her money, and then took the slabs back in the night. Still a stupid, over complicated scam, but that's the impression I got.
Why would that be your first thought if she had just recently gotten it done they probably would’ve said that, and even if that was the case you can’t exactly does uproot a concrete slab and then reuse it. It would crack and break obviously I think the easier and smarter assumption to make here is that they did it so in a week they can come back and offer to fix it for her and then get her money. Lets try and actually think next time okay?
I think the reason they have done it is maybe, and thats a very wild theory, that they are some sort of driveway paving firm who seeks to make some quick bucks by forcing those people to lend their services. I imagine it it sorta like a window repair service which smashes other peoples windows at night and then offers their service. I mean why would you rent a bulldozer to randomly steal someones driveaway out of funnsies.
There are a couple of options. Either there's some contractors trying to generate more work for themselves via there now being a new job needing to be done. This doesn't seem likely, since they can't controll if they get hired to make the new driveway. Another option is just a mistake, where the contractors were hired to remove a driveway and went to the wrong address. That feels more likely to me, and there's been some other stories like that recently as well.
@@phandavidzimmermann1095 Haha could be. In today's world it could also be someone who just simply wanted their actions to go viral. Hopefully the true answer is more entertaining than what we're speculating.
@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim it wasn't in the middle of the night... no where in any of the articles does it mention to was in the middle of the night... Reading more into it, there's another guy, "Andre" who contacted one contractor after the house was listed for sale. The homeowner confronted the contractor as they were measuring the driveway. The contractor was asked for a quote for replacing the driveway by Andre, and Andre cut contact when the contractor asked for proof of ownership. Later, while the homeowner was away, a contractor did come and remove the driveway during the day.
You remove something from the property and then come in later with an offer to fix. Basicly creating customers. There is a story of some scammers who used to steal doorsteps and them sell them other stolen doorsteps.
Whoever did this is brilliant. Without the road, the woman would be trapped in her own home since our path finding programming requires us to have a road to get anywhere. Therefore, she'd be stuck until she payed the ransom for the road to be replaced.
@@kingofsomething3250uhm actually, the F22 is not a bomber. It is a fighter as the F in the name suggests. And also the USAF would never use such valuable stealth fighters on a worthless passant like you🥸🥸😭☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️😂😂😬😬🤭🫨😎😎🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸
The scam is this: You call a company and say you need a new driveway at that isn't your address. Then you send them a hot check for more than the cost they quoted you. Then you ask them to send you a check for the difference. In this case, the company just started the replacement before clearing the check or checking with the homeowner.
They could also be working for construction companies (hence having the heavy equipment) so they can cause more sales - tear away a driveway, make them come to a company for a new one - especially if they aren't officially part of the company that swoops in and offers a great 'deal' to put a new driveways down. And the asphalt can be crushed down to make new pavement as well. So they are gaining a resource.
I'm also wondering if it's a billing scam of sorts, like those "companies" that send a business a couple of broken or empty printer cartirdiges and then send a huge invoice to the finance department. They could be sending photos to insurance companies with invoices to try to get payments. Though devaluing the home intentionally is a decent potential option too, especially if there's few buyers.
How the Scam Works: A scammer calls a construction company and asks 'how much to take away my driveway(paint my house/take down my roof)? I need it done right away.', the company says '$1000'. The scammer says 'go ahead I'll send you a check.' A check for $1500 arrives by FedEx at the Co and so they go out to the house and pull up the driveway. The scammer calls back and says 'There was a mistake, I overpaid you'. The Co says 'yes, I'll remburse you the $500 you overpaid'. So they send a check to the scammer for $500. The construction co gets a call from their bank a week later telling them the check for $1500 bounced, then mentions that the $500 check you sent the scammer has alread been cashed. Victim #1 - the construction company is out $500 plus the cost of doing the job; Victim #2 - the lady who now has to pay $10,000 to get her driveway/roof repaired; Scammer - walks away with $500.
In Detroit they have problems with people stealing bricks from the row-houses to resell for new builds. You get a situation they call "Doll housing" where only one or two of the row houses are occupied, and the back brick walls are completely removed from the row houses and by the time the tenets notice, its often too late and the buildings start collapsing.
Definitely insurance fraud. How do you know your driveway is being taken? My friend does driveways, he did mine, and he could take it by pieces. It's still LOUD AS SHIT!!!! Definitely a scam.
no joke, during my eagle scout project -- we're talking 2002 -- we watched some guys pull up, remove some very dead sod from a school yard, then drive off with it. But they also drove off with the rolls of new sod that was supposed to be put down. They just put in the work to look legit while stealing new sod.
For those curious, the concrete is valuable. We are actually running out of the resources to make concrete. Most concrete in new condos, housing, and most developments is recycled and re-broken down from demolished buildings & industrial complexes. Toronto in Canada is a hot spot for this, and it shows as our expressways and escarpment have been falling apart for years due to this exact reason (reused concrete vs new). I hope the limestone mix psuedo roman concrete they just figured out in Japan last year helps fix this growing issue.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the homeowner had a concrete crew do their driveway and then either refused to pay or paid less than agreed upon
The video you watched said that they recently got a company to give an estimate on a new drive way so it was the company who took it because they now would in theory go with the company to get a new drive way
My guess would be the person who "stole" the driveway runs a paving company so they rip up and take someone's driveway and then make an offer to re-lay the driveway (with the homeowner obviously not knowing it was them who ripped up the driveway in the first place) when the homeowner is looking to replace it at either an artificially "low" price or a ballooned price. Then they'll replace the person's driveway (maybe even using the very driveway they stole as the materials) and make a bunch of money only on labor.
My guess would be to sell them a new driveway? Like, you asked us to replace your driveway, we don't charge for removal, so we did that, now we need to talk pricing on the new one.
I watched somewhere that how the scam works is that they would call a construction company ask them to do something on the outside of the house(since they cant enter it) give them a false check and overpay with it but before they try to submit the check they ask for the money they overpayed in cash.
The scam is that you pay someone to repave the driveway. The dude you find first for a listing is the guy that tore up the driveway, or the one that convinced the bulldozer owner to do so.
Even simplier - he is just forcing her to pay for driveway replacement, since he has a cut in it. Concrete is easy to dispose of competely unnoticed, so there would be no material evidence to connect the person offering replacements to seemingly "random" bulldozer driver. No evidence - means it cannot be charged as theft (needs possession of stolen property). And they never pronounced any threats, so it cannot be charged as extortion, as well. "Some guy just mixed up houses and removed wrong driveway, yeah, happens all the time, dudes driving bulldozers tearing driveways, yeah, idk. But, I understand now you need a new driveway - what a coincidence, I happen to offer exactly these services, can offer you some discount for your situation"
For people thinking this is insane it’s really not stealing construction supplies is a great money maker because most people don’t think twice about it and it’s really easy to move the stolen items given there’s no real way to track it and plenty of labourers will glad pay cash in hand for cheaper materials

My guess would be the person who "stole" the driveway runs a paving company so they rip up and take someone's driveway and then make an offer to re-lay the driveway (with the homeowner obviously not knowing it was them who ripped up the driveway in the first place) when the homeowner is looking to replace it at either an artificially "low" price or a ballooned price. Then they'll replace the person's driveway (maybe even using the very driveway they stole as the materials) and make a bunch of money only on labor.
I'm so glad Charlie made it extra clear that the tractor responsible isn't sentient.
This is what petty revenge looks like
Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles up to their old antics
The grinch was feeling feisty.
the only possible explanation I can think off is selling the materials back to a construction company
My guess would be to sell them a new driveway? Like, you asked us to replace your driveway, we don't charge for removal, so we did that, now we need to talk pricing on the new one.
I watched somewhere that how the scam works is that they would call a construction company ask them to do something on the outside of the house(since they cant enter it) give them a false check and overpay with it but before they try to submit the check they ask for the money they overpayed in cash.

Everyone making it so complicated the dudes just pulled up to the wrong house without checking with their boss, "happens more than you think" 😂
Driveway stealing is the funniest shit I've heard today🤣
Everyone is suspecting a big brain scam maneuver, but nobody is expecting that one family of contractors who ran out of money doing a driveway
Hide your driveways .... Hide 'em! lol
My guess is it was a new driveway , she refused to pay contractors so they took their material’s back
I was hoping there was someone in this comment section with a brain
The scam is that you pay someone to repave the driveway. The dude you find first for a listing is the guy that tore up the driveway, or the one that convinced the bulldozer owner to do so.
Next Property Theft:
"Garage Door Get stolen but everything is still side"
they're gonna buy the house for the discounted price and then put the driveway back
Even simplier - he is just forcing her to pay for driveway replacement, since he has a cut in it.
Concrete is easy to dispose of competely unnoticed, so there would be no material evidence to connect the person offering replacements to seemingly "random" bulldozer driver. No evidence - means it cannot be charged as theft (needs possession of stolen property). And they never pronounced any threats, so it cannot be charged as extortion, as well.
"Some guy just mixed up houses and removed wrong driveway, yeah, happens all the time, dudes driving bulldozers tearing driveways, yeah, idk. But, I understand now you need a new driveway - what a coincidence, I happen to offer exactly these services, can offer you some discount for your situation"

For people thinking this is insane it’s really not stealing construction supplies is a great money maker because most people don’t think twice about it and it’s really easy to move the stolen items given there’s no real way to track it and plenty of labourers will glad pay cash in hand for cheaper materials
People really can't believe this I've seen thieves steal an entire house before
This seems like the kind of revenge story you hear on reddit about a contractor removing the work they did to a person's house due to non-payment.
Imagine waking up outside and your house is gone. 🤣
All she has to do is go around and check for new driveways that were installed. A contractor pulled it out on accident and found out too late.

Be careful who you contract to do stuff like this, for a multitude of reasons. If you go too cheap you spike your risk of shady people.
