There’s a special place in hell for deed thieves - I hope Ms. Carmella can get her home back..
Let me clarify for lazy readers above - a thief stole the deed and evicted the homeowner from her home. That's why there's a protest.
So is it the father who is under conservatorship is rightful owner or daughter? And someone stole deed from father or the daughter?
@brooklynuser2252328008 you’re clearly uninformed and don’t realize deed theft is real. It’s not “i didn’t pay my rent,” it’s people falsely claiming your property as theirs and having you evicted. Do your research. The police were following what they thought was right since the thief has fraudulent paperwork. This is a huge problem
SPREAD THIS!!! DEED THEFT FROM GOVERNMENT! The story is CRAZY!!! SHARE THIS!
