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

TL;DR Summary
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.
