I went over to one of my listings the other day -- and I met my contractor to give me a bid on repairing some steps that are a trip hazard (if you walk on them, you'll probably break your ankle).
Well-- When I gave him the address and inquired if he needed directions he started to laugh -- and told me that he has done half of that street. Well, when we went to the house across the street (another REO) he again laughed and told me that he too did that one.
He conveyed the following story to me "When I went to this house before I was talking to the agent-- and we saw the faucet coming and going out of the wall--like something out of the Goonies. When we looked in the house-- we saw someone stealing all the copper piping. Needless to say that we called the cops-- and that got quite interesting."
Well, this might not convey as funny as it was hearing it in person-- But I'd love to hear some stories from other REO people. :)
