Now I love purple but not sure about the living room. Even worse they've left the tv on and that woman :eek: They also appear to have the tumble dryer and fridge in the dining room which all appears to be odd.
Which they have tried to spruce up with a natty lamp!SPC #1813

Nor people who have been repossessed, who may well take and eBay anything that moves!
Okays....having seen the comment re even skirting boards and floorboards being removed in one repossession - it might sound naive but I gotta ask (as I've often wondered):
Why do some people DO this if they get repossessed:
- misdirected anger?
- trying to take literally every single penny out of the place by hook or by crook?
- a huge level of self-destructiveness (first I'll get repossessed, then I'll ensure the house gets sold for as little as possible and land myself in even more financial schtuck)?
It's something I've never come across - hence puzzlement as to why some people do this "strip a house of everything malarkey".0 -

Exactly. Surely it'll just devalue the house and so increase your debt? Or are the owners too thick to realise this, or somehow think it won't catch up with them?
