• The Legend of Foreclosure Vandalism Grows
  
  Las Vegas is used as a backdrop for the story, not surprising given that the foreclosure rate in Las Vegas consistently ranks among the top 10 metro foreclosure rates, according to RealtyTrac. And there are some real horror stories described by agents cited in the article: ferret droppings along the baseboards, walls pocked with holes, appliances and light fixtures ripped out, a trail of motor oil dripped on all the carpets throughout a house.
