Bulldoze it, it's her land right?.

It should be like having someone else's car towed off your driveway.

The example you used is pretty flawed. You can tow a car without damaging it. You can’t bulldoze a house without damaging it. If she did that, it would be like destroying a car because it was parked on your property. That wouldn’t just open her up to civil liability, but also criminal liability. She may own the land, but the house is someone else’s property. She can’t damage it or she goes to jail.
