Wrong house demolished; but even owner didn’t know where he lived.
The demolition of the wrong house has been an infrequent yet ever-present theme ever since DemolitionNews threw open its electronic doors and bid you all welcome. Over the years, we have seen contractors pitch up at the right house number but in the wrong street or place too much faith inGoogle Maps only to find they were at the wrong address.
But spare a thought for Daniel’s Demolitions in Sydney, Australia which demolished the wrong house. But little wonder – The owner of the property didn’t know his address either.
The workers needed to demolish 200 Marion Street, but because the house next door (number 198) had a letterbox with number 200 on it, the wrong house was knocked down.
Steve Ballas owns 198 Marion Street, but because of the wrong letterbox always thought he lived at 200. He came home to see his house being knocked down.
