Holy crap I'm a criminal!

Not sure how foreclosures work, but if a person previewed it before you got there, and saw everything and happens to win the bid, will s/he expect the stuff to still be there?

My dad bought a foreclosure a few years ago. Lots of stuff left behind, including a Ford Focus in the garage. Don't know if it's the norm that buyer gets what is left behind, or if seller normally clears it out after sale, but before possession occurs.

From what I understand of the whole situation, I'd return it.

They do that sometimes so they know how much are their costs are going to be and know what all it will cost them, so they know how high to take the bid and still come out on top.

That is exactly what he was doing. He just failed to share with me that this was different than the quotes I usually did for him.
