You know times are tough when people are getting kicked out of their house when it’s not even for sale.

That’s what happened to Anna Ramirez after she found all of her stuff out on the front lawn of her Homestead home last week and a strange man demanding she get out of his newly purchased house.

The eviction came after Ramirez’s home was mistakenly auctioned off to the highest bidder by her bank, Washington Mutual. Usually, you get a warning before you get the boot. A foreclosure letter. Maybe a sign saying your house is up for sale. Not Ramirez, who found her belongings bashed and battered in the street.

"This came out of nowhere," Ramirez said. "The bank took the house from right under my feet."

1. I would OWN me some WaMu for sure.

And I would happily see to it that several employees would learn the consequences of their actions. :eyes:

4. I guess she'll have to sue Miami-Dade -- good luck.

"A mistake in the Miami-Dade Clerk's Office appears to be behind the mishap, which landed Ramirez homeless for more than 24 hours."

5. Good thing it didn't happen in Texas

We have the "Castle Law". She coulda legally shot the SOB who put her stuff out. A person better be damned sure they know what they're doing when throwing people's stuff out. Could be dangerous. If I go home and see someone throwing my stuff out of MY HOUSE, they're going down!
