She won’t be behind on her payments much longer. I’d say $200,000 is on the low end of what she will get.
Well she just won the lottery.
"The dog ate my homework" doesn't fix the damage they caused.
A couple million dollars ought to learn 'em to be a little more conscientious about their job.
I think she just won the lottery. Unfortunately, she has lost some non replaceable items but she will shake them down in court. In the long run, she will have some fond memories of her misfortune or at least have new found wealth to relieve her anxiety.
I used to go to storage auctions and sometimes family photos would show up in boxes. Always, always, always the people would give them back for the auctioneer to give to the family. It's called respect for another human being which was sorely lacking in that woman's case.
Fools.
They'll soon be wishing that was all they had to pay!
A good lawyer should be able to win many times that.
>> He says a mishap similar to this happened six years ago when Countrywide emptied a condo belonging to Gerald and Katrina Thitchener in a mistaken foreclosure. “A number of people were sued. Countrywide ended up paying over $1 million in damages in that case,” he said.
Sounds like she’ll end up with her stuff back and then some. If she’s smart, she could be set for life after this. Before every silver lining, there must be a dark cloud.

No need to make it political.
Human stupidity is universal and crosses all party lines.
I bet Rob and Renea made a few extra bucks selling good stuff in the house.
You would think the realtor would have a few safeguards in their system to prevent this crap from happening.
Poor woman. On the brightside she be the big winner in all of this. I’m pretty sure they all have brown spots in their underpants now...
I reckon either it gets settled out of court, or she ought to pursue Civil damages AND Criminal charges. Last time I checked “Breaking and Entering”, “Criminal Trespass” and “Burglary” were serious crimes, not to be relieved under color of right.
I bet the removal people said “Nice Stuff!” and either kept it, sold it or gave it away. So, “Conversion” to be added to the list of charges, and perhaps “Receiving” as charges to parties as yet unknown.
Meanwhile, check eBay. There will be a wedding dress posted on there, going with no reserve.
She is silly for not filing a criminal complaint against her the real estate employees and the ‘home preservation’ company for grand theft.
That's what I'm thinking, too. If she has a list (partial or full) of the items missing, check the pawn shops, consignment stores and auction barns.
Years ago I had a house fire. It was an education to me to see how much household goods add up to.
Just go through an sock and underwear drawer - the cheapest of the cheapest - and add up what it takes to replace it, if you just had to go out and buy it. The spice closet in your house is also expensive.
Then think of your whole house. It’s amazing how much it will be. My company covered at a small percentage and I still got enough to put a downpayment on a house.
Get a lawyer,,,one that needs a new Porche or two.
I'm guessing Rob and Renea are having one hell of a Christmas this year.
