Update on house situation

So I posted a huge rant the other night about how this whole short sale situation has been going, or not going. It's just been one thing after another. So my realtor sent us pictures of the damage done by the kids who broke in to vandalize. Here they are:

These pictures were pretty much the final straw for DH and I. We have decided to completely back out. We would NOT feel safe living here. If these hoodlums were willing to break into a vacant house, who's to say they wouldn't break in once all our valuables get in there. Not to mention we could not even fathom subjecting our unborn child to such craziness. So we have firmly decided to back out of the contract and just find an apartment ASAP. The picture that freaks us out the most is the one where they wrote "My House" it just makes it sound so personal, just crazy.

Re: Update on house situation

  • Yea the gang signs in the 2nd one from the bottom would have been enough for me but coupled with everything else, I don't blame you a bit. I am sorry it didn't work out for you and I hope you find a good apartment soon!

  • Is that a Star of David? Either way, I don't blame you for backing out. That is way too much craziness to deal with. Good luck finding an apartment quickly!

    It is based on the star of david sort of but it is actually a gang symbol. It's more about the 6 corners than anything (I used to deal with a ton of gang stuff at my old job)

    Wow!! that is insane... I missed the origional post about this, but thats scarey. I would have made the same call... This is going to sound so trite, but damn freaking teenagers are so disrespectful. we have had issues in our town with them smashing pumpkins, throwing ice snow balls, annoying crap like that. The Vandalism and flat out distruction is a whole new level of disrespect. We never hide it from our daughter- she needs to see how badly it hurts people so that, with the grace of God, she will never do those terrible things.

     

    I agree with you, the disrespect kids show these days is disgusting (and now I sound like my mom).  Our library is being remodeled, so when you walk in there is basically a dry wall walkway to the elevator to go downstairs to where the finished part is - the part they're working on is blocked off.  They must have left the doors unlocked or something because the last time DD and I went the whole walkway was filled with graffiti, nasty pictures, swear words, etc.  DD said "mommy, who did this to the library?  That's not nice!"  and she gets upset about it everytime we go. OP, I totally agree with you, there's no way I'd move in there.

  • I'm so sorry, but at least you guys can feel comfortable with your decision and not be stuck in limbo anymore. I hope the next house hunt is much easier on you.

  • I think you made the right decision to back out.  With all of the other setbacks, along with this and a whole new bunch of "unknowns", its a lot for two parents-to-be!  I hope you are able to find something else without all of the issues!

  • Wow. That's just awful. I don't blame you for wanting to back out. I would be afraid. When we were looking for homes I remember pulling up to a house with our agent and in big bold red paint on one of the garage doors it said, "keep out". The house gave me the creeps. I thought we were going to stumble upon a dead body or something else. Good luck finding an apartment.
