I investigated a reported vacant and unsecured house today where the owner moved out before the eminent foreclosure. Before leaving he apparently decided to steal EVERYTHING from the house including the kitchen sink, the doorknobs, the receptacles and switches, the light fixtures, all appliances, the furnace, the interior doors, the h2o heater, and the above ground pool. I suspect that this was vengeance against the bank. Has anyone seen stuff like this recently? I think people are snapping. I have had the meter pulled and all utilities locked out and declared it unsafe. Should I attempt to notify the bank of the damages? I wonder if there are criminal charges that can be filed even though the owner did the damage. Here's the kicker...the house is only 5 years old. Future occupancy will require multiple permits and lots of work. Very nice neighborhood... $300,000.00 house. WOW. Thoughts?
