In Harper Woods, Eastpointe, and Warren, the refugees from Detroit are taking it upon themselves to walk right in and take what they want.

Unlike the story above, these homes have been on the market for some time (a great reason to NOT put a Realtor sign advertising the fact that house is sitting empty), and the looters literally let themselves in.

I've had to do some quick PEX fix-it jobs on several of them owned by friends who have moved away. You'd be surprised at how much pipe they can steal in a very little amount of time (not to mention how much water damage it causes).

OABTW, watch a few other pieces from Andrea Isom. That's just her style of reporting.
