Yea...I'm not talking about like having a house "lost" to fire or to debt or something. I'm thinking about someone who just forgot how to get to his house, and had to buy a new one....
I mean, it sounds possible...maybe the guy just moved in to a new part of the country and doesn't know the area too well, and then for some reason he has to drive somewhere really far away. When it's time to drive back, he just can't find his way back to his house. Maybe he spends several nights sleeping in his car, every day his odor getting more and more foul, and his beard getting longer and longer...until he just quits and buys a new house.
Do you think something like this has ever happened?
