Someone left their house in the middle of the street. Seriously.

There were no reports of ruby slippers found under the house.

Sometimes you forget your keys. Sometimes your forget your phone. But someone in Dover, Delaware forgot their whole ass house.

The Dover Police Department posted two photos of an abandoned house in the middle of the street on Tuesday.

"Sooooo somebody left a house on Long Point Road. Nope this is not a joke," the police captioned the photos.

The Dover Police Department said they were "unable to move the house until Wednesday," and closed the road until then.

The whole incident reminded a few Dover residents of a certain 1982 hit.

Some questioned what the truck driver thinking?

Others wondered if the Wicked Witch was one of the casualties.

A Dover resident said in the Facebook comments that the "frame was weak" and the homeowner was warned about the dangers of moving the house. The homeowner still insisted on transporting the building -- while still full of its contents. Another commented that she drove by the house and saw that the trailer broke.

Good luck to whoever lost their house!
