A married couple, Jesus Duran Aquayo and his wife Sofia, have to be up for dirtbag of the year. They have been charged with stealing people homes, not stealing from peoples homes, but stealing the actual homes. They would look for homes where people were behind on their taxes and then see if they were living in the home, typically folks that were in nursing homes.
If not, they would pay the back taxes, forge the documents and transfer title. Thus stealing the homes. And you want to know the kicker, these dirtbags would then get rid of the possessions such as pictures, momentos, and other keepsakes that were in the house.
Many times, the owners of the homes were infirm and living in nursing homes, according to court papers.
“It’s kind of a version of the old, illegal squatting scam,” said Tom Dresslar, spokesman for the Attorney General’s office.
“They committed fraud on a substantial scale to take homes out from under people.”
Officials said the Aguayos had been committing these crimes for about five years. Dresslar said many times the victims’ belongings, including family photos and irreplaceable items, were trashed. via the Pasadena Star News
Hell has a special layer for folks like these.

Stealing actual homes. It sound like something Lex Luther would do. People that prey on the week should suffer extra punishment. Theft involving real estate scares people to the bone.
