TWO workmen used a backhoe to dig up grass, topsoil and 10 palm trees from an Australian front yard before realizing they were at the wrong address and fleeing, a homeowner said yesterday.
Peter Collard, 56, said the culprits did an estimated A$20,000 (US$18,000) worth of damage in front of a six-bedroom house he was trying to sell in Brisbane.
His insurer told him the damage wasn't covered.
Collard's real estate agent saw the men on Wednesday during an inspection and was told they had instructions to clear every tree. The agent called Collard to confirm.
"I rushed home and couldn't believe what I saw - the sheer devastation was unbelievable," Collard said. "The two guys just took off. They just left all the trees where they'd bowled them over," he added.
