A Florida retiree has filed a lawsuit against a company that cleans out houses in foreclosure, after they mistakenly emptied his home.
Eighty-two-year-old Benito Santiago Sr returned to Tampa from vacation in 2009, and found his residence padlocked, and his life's possessions gone.But as public records show, the home was not in foreclosure.

Here's a happier story - some guy came home to find a bank contractor drilling out his locks and preparing to enter after she read the address wrong.  http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/1091126/

But yeah, this has happened before to others as well.

Familiar with the story and it is only one of several that have happened around here.

nasty, but seriously, you give them a deadline (just like any creditor does) and if they dont perform then stop letting them screw with you and nail them in court. He would have his $ by now if he had done that. Jmo...

I would say/guess cuz the thieves claim the house is being foreclosed on that the cops bow out and say its a civil matter.
... yes, its a cop out... lol

Hill, corporations can not serve time in jail. 

I arrived at one of my properties one day just in time to see tree cutters (hired by a neigbor) arrive to cut trees on my property. I did not confront them but called the police instead. I could have had them charged with trespass and gotten damages from them if i had wanted to.
Even with corps, there is a CEO & directors that can be held personally & legally liable for various acts. Madoff is in jail is he not? he did that thru a corp.

Edit to add, the neighbor wanted my trees cut, not his, he was harassing me about them.

I'd LOVE to see a few companies charged with crimes and go to trial!
