My friend's neighbor was foreclosed on yesterday

[SoCalDem]

I was at my friend's house, having coffee with her, and we heard a lot of banging going on outside.. Nosy busybodies that we are, we went out onto her porch to see what was happening.

4 guys on her neighbor's porch were banging on the door announcing that they were foreclosing on the house.. The neighbors were not at home, but their dog ran out when they opened the door.. we called him over to us, and she put the dog in her backyard, so he would not get run over or run away..

we sat there for the longest time, as they hauled stuff into the yard...toys..clothes, furniture, computers..you name it.. They just piled it all up..

By then a bunch of neighbors showed up to watch.. One retired guy from down the street, brought his lawn-chair & small patio table & plunked it down next to the pile of stuff. He promised to watch their stuff until they "got home".

My friend did not know them well, since both worked in Orange County, and were not home all that much when she was home. they apparently have a child in elementary school and another in middle school.

I left about noon, and she had to go to work at 4, so I don;t know what happened when they did get home.

There was a sign left on the door that said that if the "personal belongings" were not removed in 48 hours, it would be hauled away..
