A Sanford, Florida, homeowner says she returned to her property to find her driveway gone, a discovery that has since drawn a fraud investigation and renewed warnings about construction-related scams. In February, Sanford homeowner Luz Lenzi discovered someone had demolished her concrete driveway after a colleague called to report a massive pile of gravel in her front yard.
The colleague said they observed construction activity around the home before Lenzi realized anything was wrong. “She said, ‘Luzi, there is a mountain in front of your house and your driveway is gone,” Lenzi recalled her neighbor saying at the time. A July 2026 update from the Sanford Police Department revealed Lenzi wasn’t even the intended target.
