Glenn promised that TheBlaze would continue to cover this story until the bank rectifies the situation.
“First National Bank in Wellston, Ohio, I would recommend that you do the right thing. And it’s really shameful that you have to be shamed into it, and I would recommend that all those who have accounts with the First National Bank in Wellston call the bank and say, “What are you doing?” I mean, I’m doing business with you because you’re a local bank. Stop being a dirtbag. Do the right thing. Settle with these people. And if you haven’t, on Monday we’re going to do a nice long expose. And then on Tuesday we might even do a longer one. And on Wednesday we’ll do a huge one. And maybe if it takes a couple of weeks, we might be parked in front of your stinkin’ bank.”

Other than the McArthur Police have closed the case and the Wellston Police claim they don't have jurisdiction AND the Sheriffs in both counties won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
No, no reason at all! ;-)
Maybe the Feds should look into it a civil rights violation.< / sarc >
But I understand the GPS error — after all, who would think of looking at the address of the place you are looking for, and the address of the one that you are breaking into? How old-fashioned would that be.
Yup but it gets better. Now Occupy America has taken notice. So now its Katie-Bar-the-Door at the First National Bank of Wellston!
Hahahah Occupy Wellston has a funky ring to it, don't ya think so?
Oh good grief! This woman should have a line of lawyers around the block, salivating to get this case.

It is not criminal behavior because no one committed a crime. People went to what they thought was a debtor and reclaimed property. No criminal intent.
It is of course a tort. The bank was foolish not to give the multiples of the pittance she asked for as others have said.
What has happened now is that Beck is on it and they will want to make things right. Of course with all the publicity, she has lawyers coming out of her ears by now and making things right will cost the bank far more, maybe 10 times or more of what they could have settled this for before.
The bank was looking for the house across the street . The lady doesn’t do business in any way, shape ,form or fashion with the bank in question . Bank manager is going to end up as dog meat & the flunkies who used the gps only to decide what house to break & enter are dog meat as well ,the police chief that declared the case closed is in for a very rude surprise .
Let me guess: "this is a civil, not criminal, matter...."

Lots of abandoned coal mines in that area of Ohio,just sayin’.....
Moral considerations aside, 18k is dirt cheap compared to the loss of goodwill and reputation. Do you really want to face a jury and tell them she should refurnish down at the Salvation Army thrift store? A vengeance minded jury, i.e., one with me as a member, would think treble damages (18k x 3 = 54k) is a low ball figure, plus court costs, lost wages, inconvenience and insult.
Why isn’t the bank liable for theft by criminal negligence?
Good Question' Oh and the "bankster" President has finally responded via pdf: Letter from Bank President Tony Thorne
Sniff Sniff...
Smells like a classic steaming pile of CYA to me...!
The bank gets the wrong house, then wants to argue over the content of of their “what we threw away” list against the owner’s list that totals ONLY 18K? The bank had best hope they don’t get sued - the damages will likely be at least 6 figures, given their attitude and the irreplaceable nature of some of the discarded items.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?
Apparently the Bank VP is the first one who entered the premises on repo day so they don't even have the "Its not our fault its the dumb repo-men's fault" argument to fall back on.
That's because there is no money to be made from the issue for them.
If you are an attorney for this woman, this is how you come up with the damages requested in the complaint:
1. Pick the biggest number you can think of;
2. Put some zeroes on the end of it.
The bank will turn it over to their insurance company, and they will settle RIGHT NOW. And as plaintiff’s attorney, I would suggest they get out the check book, and I’ll tell them when to stop putting zeroes on the check.
