St Augustine, Florida: Authorities say a north-east Florida woman who didn't like her neighbours had their mobile home demolished.

According to an arrest report, Ana Maria Moreta Folch of St Augustine told a heavy equipment operator that she owned the trailer and wanted it and its septic tank destroyed.

The Florida Times-Union reports that St Johns County Sheriff's deputies were called when the trailer's real owner arrived on Monday and found the demolition underway.

The owner of the home Maria Gottfried told the deputy she had owned the mobile home since 2006, according to the report.

She said she had never had any arguments with the 62-year-old Moreta Folch, although she had never given her a key.
