“Imagine coming back to your home after being away a few weeks...”
He was away from home for a few weeks, which means he was either working out of town, on vacation or in the local hoosegow.
If he were working, he could pay his mortgage and if he were in jail, the article would mention that fact.
Therefore, the deadbeat must have been on vacation.
LOL
Of course you could be right, but as I said in a previous post him being behind on his mortgage allows the lender to commit any crime they wish against him. Being behind on your mortgage means you have lost all your rights and any protections the law provides.
Or housesitting for a friend, or caring for a sick relative, or settling the estate of a dead one, or staying with a friend while he looked for a job in another town. But hey, he must have been on vacation, because you made that up.
If he were working, he could pay his mortgage
Right. If he got laid off from his middle-management job and found work driving a truck, I'm sure that wouldn't have any negative impact on his ability to keep up.
