Allstate Makes Family Homeless!

A skunk left its mark on Allen and Leslie Scott’s Frederick, Md., house early Monday morning, and now they’ve been homeless ever since.

The dreadful odor emerged at 2:30 in the morning. A skunk sprayed in the crawl space under the Scotts’ log cabin home. Furniture, food and appliances may now all have to be replaced to get rid of the repulsive smell.

Now the Scotts are living in Allen’s sister’s basement, and it may be weeks before they can move back into their home, according to the News-Post. They couldn’t even pack an overnight bag; the toiletries had the awful scent, too.

And for clothes, three washes per load with lots of baking soda.

The Scotts’ pets are stranded too. The dogs are with the couple, but the cats are in heated sheds at the “‘abandoned” house.

Their homeowners’ insurance will not replace their ruined belongings; Allstate will, however, pay to clean the carpet and fog the house.
