Neighbors of mine were evicted a couple months ago. I felt bad for them at first, but then found out they took vacations and bought new cars, all without making a house payment in over a year. It was an orchestrated foreclosure, I guess you could say.
So now, we deal with the abandoned house left behind. The neigbors have been mowing the field that used to be their backyard. The cops had to be called because the neighborhood kids were treating the house, shed, and trees as a jungle gym, and the backyard as their own playground.
I think there was a glimmer of hope this morning when a crew came in and emptied the house and yard of anything that wasn't bolted down. The only thing is, it all now sits at the end of the driveway. I'm sure this will be a free-for-all attracting all kinds of "shoppers" until garbage day - in fact, they have already started. But will the garbage men take all this stuff? I've seen belongings sit curbside for months at other places, presumably because nobody is paying for trash collection at the house.
I'm sure other's are dealing with this too. What should I expect. How long will the crap sit out there? I'm sure it will be long enough for it to get rained on tonight or tomorrow morning.
