Either a scam, miscommunication, or a contractor got the wrong address. I don't see how there's value in the demo and hauling off of a driveway.
Unless someone really wanted to get revenge.
The angle that leaps to mind is some property flipper saw the place listed and hired some shady workmen to tear the driveway out knowing it would fuck up any pending contracts, and he's hoping the owner will be desperate enough to take whatever lowball offer he swoops in with.
But that seems like a pretty risky scheme, unless he's also planning on not paying whoever he hired to bulldoze the driveway. And I guess before you get the driveway replaced you ought to make double damn sure you're not hiring the same motherfucker who ripped it out.
You're correct in that there's no way you're going to be able to haul away a concrete slab that big and keep it in one piece to be reused elsewhere. And even then, for what? You have an application that needs a slab the exact size and shape of this lady's driveway?
That's wild
Utter shock!
