Gosh, what I wouldn't give to find a nice patio set!

We did a personal property eviction on a lifesize suit of armor I really, really wanted. I was sooo bummed when the owner claimed it, it would have been awesome!

I have a full brand new(seriously still tags on it) entertainment set.couch,end tables,entertainment center.Fingers crossed everyday that no one shows up for it!!

one also had a plasma tv,but of course a third party got that and im sure its hanging on there wall now! I never end up with anything:( someday I will hit the jack pot

Ooooh, I hope you get it.

Most banks do not want you to take anything, even after the personal property eviction is over, they want it all to go to the dump, but I have some nice AMs who don't care, charity, me, whatever.

Not that I ever want what people left behind. Well, I did end up with three HUGE boxes of electrosol tabs for the dishwasher. I had an REO in escrow and the buyers agent freaked out that they were under the sink (trashout guy thought they should stay with the house), so I took them home. They are fabulous!

And I always cut a piece of rope if I find any, for my Min Pin, she loves rope.

*mourns the loss of the armour*

Ya most of mine have said you can keep it,as long as the eviction is over,but evictions dont happen often, The stuff most of them leave behind is junk,like the 5 hampster cages full of S*** that I found today in a house!or the can collection of a life time the whole 3 car garage is filled!

Oooh I had a single garage bay filled with maybe a years supply of urine in Crystal Geiser bottles.. eeew.. the things people collect.

I think that when they find out they are losing there house,they think hmm..what is something stupid and gross I can start collecting or doing and then leave it for someone else to clean up!

Get a big, fat screwdriver and a small sledge. Knock your holes in the parched earth, and then remove the screwdriver. Then the sign will go in the ground without having to destroy it in the process.

Maybe it's because of my age, I also carry a teenager. I need someone to speak the language of the very same people who will probably be stealing and causing havoc on my new listing.

Don't forget Mace and/or Pepper spray. You will be glad you have it with you, not in the car when you find yourself face to face with a dog that suddenly appears out of no were, hungry and protecting his property.

I've never pepper sprayed a dog, but I HAVE pepper sprayed an opossum!

Real Estate Stan - lol. You guys are so funny, I am coming to the board these days and cracking up.

I'm sure this is already on here and I should know better!!! Rock salt and a shovel!!! This morning I was cleaning off a porch with the brush for my car!!!
