“Is this really any different from say buying toys and electronics from someone that purchases on a credit card who can’t afford to make payments on the card and in the process gives the middle finger to the credit card company?

What if the homeowner paid for new cabinets using his/her credit card and didn’t pay off the bill? Is that any different?”

It’s different, although I don’t think that walking away from credit card debt and keeping all your shit is ethical either.

In this case, I don’t have a problem with them taking the fridge or even the stove. But for them to be removing ‘fixed’ items that normally convey with a property: ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, cabinets, AC units, etc is pretty pathetic. Why not just take the doors, the counter tops and dig up the shrubs while you are at it?

Hell, I just put in a new roof last month and had all my interior door frames and doors replaced (plus new lockets). That is MY money dammit. Guess I’m gonna be ripping off that roof and tearing out the doors/handlesets if the bank ever takes my house..after all, it’s MY stuff.
