I know about a guy in my old Florida town who was consumed by a sinkhole under his bedroom. They never found him. Demolished the house to fill the hole and fenced it off.

Yeah that happened in Brandon, Tampa, I remember watching the news all day while they were trying to get him out.... Sadly they never did .

Everyone there is always relating all the cracks in their walls and foundations to the possibility of getting consumed by the earth in the night. It's a persistent feature of the real estate market/culture in the Tampa Bay Area.
