Thieves Targeting Foreclosed Homes



Houses left empty by foreclosure are increasingly becoming easy targets for thieves here in North Texas.
Realtors are showing up at foreclosed homes to find they've been cleaned out light fixtures, bathtubs, even the kitchen sinks stolen by thieves with a lot of time to pull a job.
Local Realtor Ann Stewart says this is really hurting potential buyers, who in many cases could walk into a home like the one she has listed in Hurst and spend a hundred thousand dollars to replace everything that was ripped off.
