I find some of this stuff in garages, does it qualify? lol

[centfladigger]

I do foreclosure home inspections and help on some cleanouts of the houses. I love my job but I tell ya it is depressing at times, to see what families walk away from or lose. This stuff in the pics are just a sample of what I see all the time. I find houses where the owners have up and walked out and left the doors open, taking only some clothes. When I do find a house like that I take pictures of every room and the outside and secure it the best I can and then we have a crew come out and secure it.
Sooner or later we get the clean out order to haul everything to the dump. Some of yall wouldnt belive what is left behind. You name it , its there. I have houses where they could have been on the show "hoarders" and they leave it. I found one house that had been abandoned and local kids used it as a hangout and party house. The power was cut off and when I brought my flashlight I found piles of copper tubing where they stashed it after stealing it from a/c units.
I have found grow houses, I even found a new BMW in a garage of a grow house and it wasnt there 3 weeks earlier. I did turn that one into the local DEA and they loved me for it, helped build a case against the owner they have been pursuing for while

I have found 3 Rolex boxes and those fetch around $50-80 all day long, the jewelry never makes past the doors, my girls jump on those. I have traded some things to other cleanout guys who find things I want, like kayaks and jon boats.































I found these at the Taco bus around one of the houses, it was good

I won't have written the thing about the drug car.. other people can read these post not just members an that is something if I was you I wouldn't want on the internet for millions to see...

why? I left it there with the DEA, isnt mine to mess with and Im not worried about someone and their old grow house,the ones that worry me are the ones that are active and I dont know about when I am taking pictures they were storing the car there to hide it, it was gone a week later when I went back.
Once we get these orders from the banks we have a certain amount of time to clean the houses out, most goes to the dumps and sometimes there isnt enough time to look through all the stuff. I have saved personal photo albums and birth certificates and actually tracked down 2 home owners to give them to them. Christmas time is the worst for me to see folks lose thier houses and they have kids and have nowhere to go.

Very interesting...and very sad too.

It is interesting to see the stuff that is found. I went to a "moving sale" in the dead of winter once, and it should have been called a "we are selling everything that we would have abandoned sale".

I bought a set of heads off of a Harley for $5, and a doll house for $10, along with a fishing reel for $3...and a truck load of stuff. The Harley heads sold for $265 on ebay, the doll house, with a little work sold for $50, and the doll house furniture sold for $150. The reel sold for almost $90.

The woman could have cared less, and I probably could have bought all that stuff for $10.

I was a little confused though...she wouldn't sell me some of the tools, and some shelves but she left them for the clean out crew. The shelves are in my basement now...the crew was trashing them when I drove by! Go figure.

I have only found 5 grow houses so far and of the 5 ,1 was unknown to the law. The ones the were known were raided and anything drug related was long gone. There usually isnt much in these houses, every available space is for weed. The last house was a $400k home and it is trashed, it was a hydroponic grow and there is mold on all walls both floors 4 ft up the walls. That was the one they recently left but still had stuff in
and your right about a junk drawer in the kitchen, anything and everything is in those,lol
