Are you kidding me?

When a bank properly executes a foreclosure on a property, the bank cannot 'seize' the property inside, ever. The former owner must be notified properly by the assuming bank and given a reasonable amount of time to remove their belongings. If they fail to remove their belongings by the end of that period, THEN the bank can clean out the property.

"The foreclosure proceeding has not been completed, according to city property tax and state land records."

Well,  the problem with that statement is those offices often lag in updated information by months, especially here in MA with all the issues the title court has had recently. What the article and Mr. Dahrooge fail to mention is whether or not he, as the executor, or his mother when she was still alive, was properly notified by the bank to remove the items from the property. With the foreclosure starting and the mothers death happening a year ago, its possible notification was issued. If so, he's screwed, if not, its theft on the part of the bank. Mr. Dahrooge also fails to mention if anything else was missing from the house that could have been taken by the bank.

This guy needs a lawyer, is there a lawyer on this forum who would be willing to help this guy out?

Sounds shady to me,  there should be a paper trail before taking the car and after telling why, where and when the car was taken.

It sounds to me like the contractor who did the winterizing went back and stole the car and the bank had nothing to do with it except they have the information of who the contractor is.

^. If that is the case then the bank is obligated to divulge that info to the authorities since it is reported as a stolen vehicle.

AND the bank shares some liability if it was their contractor who indeed stole the car... assuming the bank didn't take it....

This guy needs a flippin' lawyer....  are there no attorneys in the Mopar community?

1 I would never deal with Bank of America.

2 I would look into winterizing companys and go to the businesses check out there property.
   He did mention the towing co. has out of state tag.
   Must be a tight lipped family business or an employee would start talking to friends about the Challenger.

3 If his name is only on the title, not his moms he has a good case against the bank and the winterizing co. for stealing his car.

4 Go to MVA do a search to see if the title has been retitled................

BOA sux! I hope this guy sues them back to the stone age.
When I was in the Navy, they issued BOA credit cards to all the flight crews. I *NEVER* used it,
used my Discover locally and AmEx when out of the country. BOA screwed up so many accounts
that fight crews had, they were a disaster then and they're a disaster now.
