I had a caller today from the upscale Lakewood neighborhood in Walnut Creek. He said his neighbor had gone through the foreclosure process and their home had now become an REO.

Instead of waiting for the Sheriff's Office to come and escort them off the property they decided to "break camp".

The moving truck came and in a matter of hours they had packed most everything into the truck and were gone. Well almost everything.

The person that called me had gone over after they left and peeked in the window.
They left numerous piles of decomposing garbage inside the house and out. The biggest pile happened to be in the middle of the living room floor!

He said they took all the curtains, all the curtain rods. They yanked the lighting fixtures right out of the wall. The power had been turned off but live naked wiring hung from where the ceiling fans used to be.

He was most worried because of what they left in the middle of the driveway - a full can of gasoline!


You just never know.
