Ananova:
Neighbour stole house
A Russian man returned from holiday to find his entire two-storey house had been stolen by a neighbour.
Yuri Konstantinov, 50, from the Astrakhan Region, came back from a trip visiting relatives to find his house had been taken down brick by brick and all the contents sold. Only the foundations were left.
Police investigating the theft found out that a neighbour had taken the house apart and sold everything, including the bricks and window frames, and even the kitchen sink.
A police spokesman said: "A local resident decided to take it away piece by piece, and he dismantled it for construction materials.
"This is not though the first such case we have come across, and in remote areas it is considered normal by some people."
