Bank burglarizes home, steals everything

Imagine if you can what the reaction would be if someone tried using the castle doctrine against home invaders like this.

In McArthur, Ohio, a woman found her house burglarized by First National Bank of Wellston. The bank stole all her possessions. The bank was trying to foreclose on a house across the street but hit her house by mistake.

The stolen belongings were then sold, given away, or thrown out by the bank. The bank refuses to reimburse her for this theft.

Because the town of McArthur is corrupt, the police refused to bust the bank.

This is another reason we need to ban foreclosures. Every foreclosure has a risk of trampling the rights of folks who have nothing to do with the house being foreclosed upon - a risk that far outweighs any benefits to the community. Let the banks whistle.
