I also by far feel that crating her is the best thing to do. Also you mentioned a pattern:

Then I take her out, but not as an aggressive walk as morning time, more or less to do her thing. Leave for the afternoon around 1pm, this is when she does her damage!!! I get back around 4pm to find some carnage in the house.

Perhaps she is getting sufficient exercise in the morning that for your first departure in the morning she is content, but then is restless from a potty walk but no exercise later in the day before your second absence. Can you try increasing the afternoon walk to be more of a workout? Oh and please obey the dog laws. I know some are quite ridiculous, but I do believe it has a negative impact on the breed if a law is being violated by a Rottweiler vs. a Golden Retriever or a Bichon.
