Everyday you hear these shitty stories about people going through foreclosure; their bank takes their home, and they're out on the street. Apparently a part of that equation you don't hear much about is that the bank sometimes turns around and sell the home for a profit. Shocking that banks would find a way to make a profit after making someone homeless.
At least one guy in Cincinnati (my hometown) decided that was not gonna happen. Instead of just laying down for The Man and taking the punishment, he did what any self-respecting midwestern guy would do: he rented a bulldozer and razed his house.
I'm sure this guy is screwed now, b/c the value of his land was much, much less than the value of the home, but I'm also pretty sure he doesn't give a shit. I have to say, I'm pumped for this guy. There had to be something satisfying about calling the bank and saying "it's all yours, just watch out for the rubble in EVERY ROOM. Oh, and the roof is in the basement."
As he notes, don't try this at home. Or after drinking bourbon. Kentucky, I'm talking to you...

If it happened in Kentucky the guy would have just set his meth lab on fire and walked away.
