Foreclosed? We Still Own The House

A couple in Florida came home from a trip to New York to find their house mistakenly foreclosed. This means that they had defaulted on the mortgage payments and the bank had reclaimed the house. What?! This is really news because the couple has allegedly fully paid for the house. Oh, dear! This isn't the worst part. The big deal was the house was tampered with, with missing household property and changed lock.

It was discovered that the couple, Mel and Harriet (lastname withheld) called the police to find out that it wasn't a thief after all, but their bank and a security outfit, SafeGuard Properties, were the culprits. A local news organization, WPLG Local 10 News, got this report from the security agency, which acknowledged the error and was doing what it could to right the wrong.

Okay, this is hoping that the couple settles back in and the local authorities fully investigate the matter. What about you? I hope you didn't leave your house without a watchdog to scare 'em off while on vacation. Whosaa!
