Woman Forced To Burn Her House Down After Her Hoarding Habit Got Out Of Hand

Suspicious Neighbour

When Kevin Burns first arrived at his house in California, he was convinced that the house across the street was abandoned. It wasn’t until about a year later, that he realised that this elderly woman was living in her car right in front of it. He had obviously not yet spoken to her, but decided that she probably wanted to be left alone.

Burns could not help but wonder about this woman. He wanted an explanation for her behaviour. He spoke to some of his other neighbours about it who told him that this woman, named Ruth, owned the house she slept in front of, but she would never step foot inside it. Burns wasn’t at all satisfied with this explanation. He decided that something needed to be done. One day, he approached her to ask her if she needed anything at all. Little did he know that he would not only become her friend as a result, but also her hero.
