"Single Florida Mother Shocked as Scammers Make Off With Her Driveway"

In Florida, Amanda Brochu's driveway was stolen as she was selling her home, an incident believed to be part of a scam involving unsolicited contractors. Initially, contractors measured her driveway, claiming they were hired by a man named Andre. Despite police intervention, a week later, her driveway was dug up and removed. Brochu's real estate agent, Rocki Sanchez, suggests this is a cautionary tale for homeowners and contractors to verify ownership before starting work. A community effort, including a radio sponsor, has offered to replace the driveway, and Brochu plans to donate the $13,543 raised through GoFundMe to a local nonprofit.

"Florida Single Mother Shocked as Thieves Make Off With Her Driveway"

In Orange County, Florida, a single mother, Amanda Brochu, was shocked to find her driveway stolen after contractors, unknowingly to her, were asked to measure it for replacement by a person named Andre. Despite assurances that a mistake in the address was made and nothing further would occur, her driveway was later demolished by a bulldozer, an act caught on her Ring doorbell camera. The incident, which is under investigation by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, has left Brochu facing a $10,000 repair bill and the potential loss of a new home purchase if she cannot sell her current property. She has since started a GoFundMe campaign to cover the repair costs.
