ugly houses that got foreclosed

Thought I'd show you all some pics of things we will NOT do to the house before the bank officially takes it! Our home holds a lot of memories, it gave us warm shelter during many kinds of storms, it kept us warm, it kept us safe and so many good times were made under that roof. I hope the next people who live there are happy and see all the warmth in that house. After seeing some pictures of what awful things people to do houses before they leave them, I decided I am going to do a blessing on the house, sort of a spiritual cleaning out of cobwebs. I thank God for giving us that home and I am trusting Him to keep on taking care of us! And we are going to clean it thoroughly and fix what we can. Doing otherwise would wrong, immoral and disrespecting the house. All these are pics of how previous owners left their houses when they were foreclosed on:


Apparently angry owners who are having their houses foreclosed on, like to rip out the toilets, or dump nasty stuff down them which has included cement ,roofing tar and huge dead fish ( I kid you not) agents say some homeowners are bitter at their lenders for taking back the properties and feel they've been mistreated along the way ( DUH - ya think??!!)


One homeowner who lost the property in foreclosure left behind a caged dog. ( hope he made sure someone would feed and water the dog) and another left three vicious half starved dobermans. Another person ( a woman this time) stripped the home of faucets, sinks, closet doors and the central air-conditioning unit. Neighbors of one St. Petersburg homeowner "were shocked last month when, as the bank zeroed in on the house, the former owner leased a Bobcat excavator and uprooted the wooden privacy fence and five palm trees. Postholes still litter the yard," the newspaper recounts. Real Estate agents have gone into foreclosed houses with every window and mirror smashed, carpets ripped out or paint dumped on them, all the doors ripped off smashed, kitchen cupboards ripped out and smashed..you name it.



I'm thinking crowbars and sledge hammers.






Did this guy think he was an artist? A creepy artist

Some people try to take ceiling fixtures and fans:

Fail

The horrid paint colors compended the crime


Some people clean out their place. And I mean CLEAN OUT


Um wasn't there supposed to be KITCHEN here??

" Hon did you remember to bring the floor?"

I wonder if any of these destructive Bozos, signed their name and address?

Now for the grande finale I will show you a few houses, where the owner, upon foreclosure just left. Without their belongings or furniture or private items. Maybe they had no where to put it. This one makes me kinda sad, while also disgusted.


Nasty. Maybe they couldn't afford to pay anyone to take this shi garbage away.
Okay I'm going to try to sleep, if this stupid stomach will let me.

Suddenly I feel like a cleany. And nice. Comparatively speaking. I do kind of have an idea just how angry banks can make a person. But ripping fans out , nope. Well not deliberately.....
