When you get home from a nice vacation, the first thing you want to do is put your feet up before life returns to normalcy.

Susan Hodgson, on the other hand, was left in a state of shock after a business demolished her home in southwest Atlanta by accident.

The prospect of anything happening to your home while you are gone is frightening, but the thought of your entire house being destroyed is horrific.

Hodgson told the Associated Press on Saturday that she discovered a mound of debris in place of her longstanding family home, inflicting apparent grief.

“I am furious,” Hodgson declared. “I keep waking up and asking myself, ‘Is this all a joke or something?'” “I’m just stunned.”

While she was away, a neighbor called to inquire whether the family had hired someone to demolish the abandoned house.

“I said ‘no’ and she said, ‘Well, there’s someone over here who just demolished the whole house and tore it all down,'” the owner of the residence stated.

When the worried neighbor questioned the demolition business, Hodgson alleges the workers became hostile.

“He told her to shut up and mind her own business,” she informed me.

A family member was then dispatched to the residence to investigate what was going on as well as to ask the workers for their permits.

However, after reviewing the permission data, the person in charge at the site realized he was at the wrong place.

“It’s been boarded up for about 15 years, and we keep it boarded, covered, grass-cut, and the yard clean,” Hodgson added.

“The taxes are paid, and everything is up on it.”

The enraged homeowner is taking action, filing a police report, and consulting with attorneys about what might be done.

However, all of it is still in limbo, leaving many issues unresolved.

“We’re still in the process of figuring out what to do,” she told me. “We keep pressing in different directions to see if something is going to happen.”

In an interview with the Associated Press, Hodgson said that the firm responsible for the disaster, You Call It, We Haul It, had yet to contact her.

“How do people just go up and tear somebody’s property down and then just drive off?” Hodgson explained.

“How can they think that’s acceptable?” I simply wish he’d come and mend the mess he made.

“It’s just hard to believe someone thinks they have the right to come in and tear something up and walk away without saying, ‘I’m sorry.'” What should I do to resolve this? It was a mistake.’ Nothing was given to me.”

The corporation claimed in a statement issued to WAGA-T that it was investigating and trying to remedy the concerns.
