She lost family photos, letters, jewelry and war medals, among other treasured possessions.
Contractors threw out a room full of Mabel Ogle’s belongings they weren’t supposed to touch A 97-year-old grandmother lost a lifetime of belongings after contractors mistakenly thought she had died and threw them away. The contractors were sent to remove damaged furniture from Mabel Ogle’s home, after the property flooded while she was staying in respite care. But instead, they cleared out virtually everything and took it to landfill.
But the team the property management company hired to dispose of the damaged items cleared everything from both the rear bedroom and the living room. Karen, a bank clerk from Oldham, Greater Manchester, said: ‘She’s lost jewellery, war medals, christening gowns, just a lifetime of memories. ‘The carer went round because a neighbour had seen the vans pull up at the house. ‘Me and Neil had to go down and we spoke to the guy and he said, “I’m sorry, there’s been a miscommunication”.
