Here's something you might be interested in.
There have been a few stories locally about the houses that banks have taken over.
Some have started to look bad, with weeds growing everywhere and other things that have gotten the neighbors angry (phone books and newspapers piling up).
A few other houses have had people breaking in and throwing parties, or squating in them.
But the more fun story happened a bit farther up north, in Malibu. A Wells Fargo executive who oversaw foreclosed properties, hosted parties and spent weekends in a $12 million beach house.
The home belonged to a couple that lost money with Bernie Madoff. And the luxury homes around it are owned by celebrities.
A few of the neighbors got the name of the woman that spent weekends there from the guard at the gate. They also wrote down the license plate on her 2007 Volvo (I'm guessing a car that sticks out like a sore thumb in that neighborhood).
Cheronda was promptly fired, after a party in which she ferried in guests from a yacht.
The second story I saw on this, again listed the value of the house. I was more curious as to how much Cheronda made with her VP job.
This reminded me of a story I saw in a recent US Magazine I stole from the dentists office. It was a short story called "Nightmare Neighbors" about some Hollywood celebs.
Back in June, Rihanna was sued by a neighbor for trespassing and invasion of privacy, after the singer supposedly let friends park their cars on his lawn next to her rented home (she should've just told them Chris Brown gets ticked if he can't find a parking space).
Lauren Conrad had a petition signed by neighbors, banning filming, loud parties, and bright camera lights at her home. Which leads me to wonder what made her think those things were acceptable in a neighborhood where people live?
Sean Connery upset his NYC townhouse neighbors, when he had construction done which caused foul odors. They sued him. And he sued back (Daniel Craig would never pull a move like that).
And lastly, Leonardo DiCaprio, who to me still looks like he lives with his parents, had basketball courts built at his L.A. home (perfect for the former star of The Basketball Diaries). His neighbors sued him for property damaged, but apparently, they all settled before going to court.
I'm guessing it was settled over a game of H-O-R-S-E.
