Al Byrd owns a house in Sandy Springs, Georgia. At least he used to, before a celestial computer instructed a demolition company to destroy it. The house had been lovingly built by Mr Byrd’s father, and it had been home to his nine brothers and sisters, before it was flattened by Marietta bulldozers on the instructions of an out-of-town firm.
The subcontractors had been given the GPS coordinates of the property to be demolished, but their satnav targeted the wrong house.
Once upon a time, you could rely on your buddies to intervene if they witnessed such an event, but Al Byrd’s neighbours went and captured it on their cell-phone cameras and emailed the pictures to the surprised owner!
