Return of the House Thrashers

[gary_broker]

As a broker I remember the last foreclosure spike that took place after the big run up in the late eighties. During this period a small percentage of foreclosures took a beating as the soon to be ex-homeowners vented their frustrations on their way out of the door.

I witnessed the results of some pretty outrageous and inventive acts by the soon to be vacated owners. Activities such as busting out all the windows and throwing bucket loads of paint all over a house were fairly commonplace. I even saw a home with a humongous middle finger painted on the roof..lol. My personal favorite was a very nice custom home at the top of hill. The pissed off owners packed all the drains with cement and then sealed up all the low level doors and windows with caulking. Prior to climbing out one of the windows they turned all the faucets (tub & shower included). The water ran for two days before someone got suspicious of all the water pouring down the long driveway.

Well today I went to look at a fairly high end REO in Westlake Village (~1.4M). A note in the MLS said to please call the listing agent regarding condition of the house (hmmm..). It’s De ja vu… paint thrown all over the house (walls, ceiling, and carpet), every SS appliance beaten in with a hammer and scratched to hell (DW, Sub Zero, ovens, MW etc). Wood flooring beaten with the claw end of a hammer, every bathtub and sink filled with paint and caulk, water left running in an upstairs bathroom etc… etc..

They’re Baaaaack…..

The banks should pursue charges against these people for felony vandalism. Until the house is completely paid off, the bank is co-owner in the property. Damage in the amount excess of $5000 can make it a felony (up from a misdemeanor).

To do so, the banks would need to move real quick after NOD/NOT and monitor the property(something they are not used to doing). They should also notify that they current ‘owners’ will be charged with criminal vandalism and may see the inside of a jail cell should this happen before they vacate. They should notify the present ‘owners’ that they should notify them when they vacate, and if after vacating, they attempt to return and/or vandalize the property, they can be charged with trespass as well as potentially criminal vandalism.

Everybody else pays indirectly for this type of behavior in the form of higher interest rates and insurance rates as well as the reluctance of people to buy foreclosed properties and the potential of blight to the neighborhood. This does not account for the ecological toll in the form of a large volume of solid waste that results from this (replacing refrigerators, flooring, walls.. etc).

This behavior is very much like that of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. Very good example these people are showing to any children they have. They deserve all the trouble the get from their children.

Any live animals in the house?

[nostradamus]

I vaguely recall something a while back about a guy letting a flock of sheep or goats chew up the house. Or was it pigs?

I’m curious about why people are damaging the houses when they vacate. Is it anger at the lender for enacting the terms of their mortgage contract? How can they justify doing this kind of thing? It’s so childish.

Anyhow, I think we should have a contest for the most interesting eviction vandalism.

Perhaps we are genetically wired to behave in this way. i recently read a book saying that we may ahve deep genetic wiring for domestic violence and for males attacking other males who try to make time with their women. Evolutionarily speaking, such violence was extremely rewarded by offspring production. Nobody messed with your mate because they knew you’d kill them. You didn’t waste resources raising someone else’s kid because you made damn sure your mate was loyal. Now, today, we’ve “outgrown” such basic primitive mindsets, right? uhh, well, maybe the law has progressed,a nd what is deemed socially acceptable has changed in terms of beating your wife, seeking blood vengeance, etc., but our genetic wiring is still intact and what worked for many thousands of years doesn’t change licketysplit just ebcause a few laws change in 100 years. Perhaps in the cave days, when you had toleave your cave, you despoiled your cave. After all, youa re in direct competition with other humans, and it’s a zero sum game, extreme competition for limited resources (food was much mroe scarce back int he old days)…we may actually be genetically wired to thrash our houses when foreclosed upon. Not an excuse, not a defense, definitely won’t work in court, and i should add that of course people shoudl control themselves and should definitely not beat their wives to control their woman’s behavior or kill other guys who mess with their wives, this is merely an observation based on recent reading (THE MURDERER NEXT DOOR, by some psychologist) for your amusement…

I am disgusted! There is no point to destroying things. I can understand impulsive outbursts, but this is manipulated, planned destruction. What do these people learn growing up? I remember my college days, and watched people from “good” households, just beat the crap out of places. Like all of a sudden, released from their parents care, it was okay to do so. I don’t get it. Immature, and wasteful.

Attitude of entitlement. I would bet you the guy with 20% down and a good credit score would hardly take to destroying a property. He/she would have taken the time to save the money and make the right decision regarding purchase, and would have less chance of foreclosure. The banks gave loans to folks like this, I guess it can be expected. Kind of a ghetto mentality.

Thats it right there. They were ‘owed’ RE riches and when the market soured it had to be someones fault. Typical American lack of accountability.

Add to the fact that they have zero equity in the property and they have nothing to lose.

People being foreclosed actually spent money on buying the caulk, paint, sledgehammer needed to do the vandalism? They probably put it on a credit card. 🙂

I actually heard about this from someone who lives in the area when I was in Westlake Village last week for a job interview. It is amazing how one outragous story makes the rounds so quickly. Talk about skewing your perceptions of eviction behavior. Anyway, there was a huge Countrywide office there, so maybe the perpetrator lost his/her job and their house to the same company. Just speculation but I imagine we will be reading about this house in the newspapers/national websites before the month is over. Bad news like this travels at light speed.

Such activity should have a way to get on their credit report. Then, when they go to rent a place, nobody will give them the time of day. In addition, they should be forced to move back into the house and live in it for a year.

Hey Gary, I live in WLV. Do you have the MLS #?

I witnessed a similar case in a gated community in Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park. Some guy bought a really nice house for about $960K in 2005, and then refinanced a few times. The house is back in the market, but is completely thrashed! The FB still lives in the house. Apparently he didn’t mean to destroy it, but just let his three huge dogs run around the house. There are holes in the walls, the carpets are almost gone, wood cabinets appear rotten, the house stinks, etc.

The FB owes over a $1MM, and he’s trying to get the bank to approve a short sale. No one wants to buy, even at the reduced $800K price.

It was sad for me, b/c I almost bought the house in 2005 and it was really beautiful back then. BTW, there was a PT Cruiser and a shiny Cadillac Escalade pickup on the driveway.

[CMcG]

I’m surprised they didn’t TAKE the appliances (Sub-Zero, anyone?) instead of destroying them. Idiots, all the way around.

Diego,
The MLS no. is 70020465 and the house is on Featherwood in WLV. It ended up going contingent-back up yesterday. Not too suprised as it is a big house so there is a lot of square footage for the money in the WLV area. However there are many unknowns with a property like this such as the extent of damage to the drains.

There are smaller homes in the Estates community being offered for much more money… however these have a zero percent chance of selling IMO.

I witnessed a similar case in a gated community in Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park. Some guy bought a really nice house for about $960K in 2005, and then refinanced a few times. The house is back in the market, but is completely thrashed! The FB still lives in the house. Apparently he didn’t mean to destroy it, but just let his three huge dogs run around the house. There are holes in the walls, the carpets are almost gone, wood cabinets appear rotten, the house stinks, etc.

The FB owes over a $1MM, and he’s trying to get the bank to approve a short sale. No one wants to buy, even at the reduced $800K price.

It was sad for me, b/c I almost bought the house in 2005 and it was really beautiful back then. BTW, there was a PT Cruiser and a shiny Cadillac Escalade pickup on the driveway.
