Default This is why it's good to live in America

Yup.

Just give me more of that "It's good to be an American" crap.

What a ****ed up country you've created for yourselves.

Read the following and be ashamed for what you've become.

=========================

TWENTYNINE PALMS (CBSLA.com) — The owners of a modest home near
Twentynine Palms lost their cherished possessions after a bank
mistakenly foreclosed their residence.

A crew broke into Alvin and Pat Tjosaas’ desert home and took everything
after being directed by Wells Fargo to secure the structure.

The couple, however, didn’t have a mortgage on the home.

Alvin said the deputy sheriff said, “Good news, we know who took (your
possessions)…Wells Fargo. Bad news, your stuff is all gone.”

All the married couple has now are three generations of memories.

Alvin, a retired mason, built the home with his father when he was a
teenager.

“I know every inch, every rock…my mom mixed all the cement by hand,” he
said.

Alvin and his wife would later bring their six children to their desert
oasis.

“My little kids (would) come out here and their dresses were the same
color as the wildflowers,” said Alvin.

A spokesman for Wells Fargo released a statement apologizing to the
couple.

“We are deeply sorry for the very personal losses the Tjosaas family
suffered as a result of their home being mistakenly secured,” said
Alfredo Padilla. “We are moving quickly to reach out to the family to
resolve this unfortunate situation in an attempt to right this wrong.”

Alvin and Pat remain distraught.

“When you put your heart into something…it makes me real sad. I’m just
glad I have my sweetheart. We’ve been together a long time,” said Alvin.
