Don't leave your house unattended for too long!
RIA Novosti: Police is Southern Russia say 'house stealing' is normal practice
A villager in south Russia's Astrakhan Region has been detained on suspicion of stealing his neighbor's house, which is common practice in remote areas, a local police spokesman said Monday.
The spokesman said the hapless house owner, who had been away for four months, reported the theft to police after he returned home to find his house gone and just the foundations remaining.

Police said that they are looking for a man living in a heavily cracked building, slightly on the p*ss.

This is a natural progression. Once the houses perceived value is below the actual value of the bricks and mortar (OK the bricks and fittings) the house is worth more as scrap. Although this would not work over here because the bricks etc of your average new build are only worth a couple of grand at the most.
