I was out previewing some homes in Willow Glen ( San Jose ) earlier today. One of the homes ( now a bank owned / REO ) is a nice 2 bedroom 1 bath home with a 1 car garage in a great neighborhood. The surprising thing about this house was not so much about the house. The interesting thing about this home was what the previous owner did to the house. All of the exterior light fixtures were removed from the home. 98% of the interior light fixtures were removed. The heating vents and thermostat were removed. The stove, hood, oven and the kitchen sink were also removed. All of the doors to the cabinets were removed. The water heater and home central air heating unit were also removed. The bathroom faucet fixtures and toilet were removed. Lastly, two sets of double doors were removed leading from the bedrooms to the back yard. This does not surprise me in the least. It does say a lot about the entitlement attitude so widely spread these days. If a home had these items when someone moved in, they should have these items when you leave. Weather you sell or give the home away. Seems right to me.
