In its findings, the trial court explicitly identified a sum of $4,000.00 as the value of her property and referred to such sum as the amount tenant was damaged by the deprivation of her property. It concluded that “[bjeing without this property for so long, plaintiff [tenant] has virtually lost it, for she would have to, and did, replace all of it. Thus her damages, the amount for deprivation of property, must be set at $4,000. Double this amount equals $8,000.” In reaching this conclusion, the trial court erred in two respects. First, it did hot consider the proper measure of damages for deprivation and, then, it doubled the amount assessed without statutory authority. Section 533.140, RSMo. 1978.
