Svelte, that story is almost a year old. I remember seeing that blonde guy throw crap out his window on the local news here in LA. Or was it CNN? [shrug]
I checked out a house on Pine Creek Pl. in Murrieta a year ago and that place was tore up. The dishwasher was on top of the kitchen island, the microwave was smashed through the drywall (high up I might add, must have been hard to get up there), most all the drywall was ripped out, the crown molding was thrashed, the toilets were kicked in, and the beams were slightly sawed through.
It looked great from the outside though. Had a nice view too.
