I have had my home and everthing I own in the world, all my daughter's photo's birth to 2004, my expensive and beautiful designer wardrobe, jewelry including a $500,000 Cartier ring, 2 Porsche automobiles, on and on and on stolen.She then gives her email address (I left this in the original post linked above). Sounds like a very cut and dried legal matter and a good case to get a lot of $$$ from the City of Long Beach (they are the ones directly responsible for the activities of their Police Department). I would hope that the original bill of sale for the properties were kept in a bank safety deposit box and not in the house. That way she can at least prove ownership at one time. If her language is this flustered one year later, the cops may have thought her hysterical and not credible when the theft was first discovered. I would check into getting a lawyer who would work on commission. One of the Porches and some Jewelry would be a good payment for what should amount to 20 hours work or so...

The crime was committed by a man I have never met or heard of, who forged documents, lied and sold my Virginia Country Club Estate home and 3/4 of an acre of land it is on to the man next door.
Everyone involved in this incident has a different interest or defense of their crime or mistakes and no one, except for a neighboring police department who arrested the suspect in one of my Porsches as a stolen vehicle, is doing anything about this. Long Beach Police Department, the city I reside in, took all the police reports, assigned case numbers and detectives and then suddenly did an about face regarding all theft and forgery (proven to a detective handling the stolen vehicle)of my name on DMV records for starters. Maybe because LBPD was called out to the seen of the crime while it was occurring and upon being presented with a forged Deed of Trust by the criminals told family members that there was nothing they could do, the deed he showed him proves he is the owner (I was in Mexico while this occurred, of course).
Why, isn't possession 9/10ths of the law? Why, if all my belongings, my automobiles, my mail, including utilities in my name, and knowing personally the neighbors on every side of the property, again, why I ask would that not be possession.
If they want a civil matter made out ot the argument, then why would they allow the seizing of a persons property and eviction of their only, sole means of shelter prior to any civil litigation. 9/10ths means 9/10ths! This is the same department who specifically told me to file a stolen vehicle report separate from the original fraud and forgery report that included all my worldly possessions and then after the suspect was arrested told the Gardena Police Detective ready to convice the suspect on forgery and grand theft auto, that they made a mistake, it is a civil matter, and they should have never filed the report to begin with.
He forged my signature on Department of Motor Vehicle registration documents, it is proven he forged my signature, that is a crime. If he was in any way legal with his acts he never would have had to forge two automobile registrations. This probably soulds confusing and I know it does'nt read well. Sorry, I get so angry I can't even express myself correctly. I actually am articulate.
It is almost 1 year from the day my home was taken. My 11-year-old daughter is living with my brother and I have been staying with what was my estranged husband (marriage at least has been reconsiled) since this crime. I don't know how to take on a police detective if he is trying to cover a departments mistake or if he really doesn't know what constitutes a criminal act.
Gardena is in 100% agreement with me and wants to convice this man, the only deterrent is LBPD. They have not even investigated the crime, how would they know if it was a civil or criminal matter? Any suggestions, advise, involvement or ideas I would gladly appreciate.
Please, please get involved if you can, this is the 3rd instance of this I have heard of beside my own and everyone of them needlessly gets misunderstood, miss-policed or not pursued due to lack of knowledge or due to the strangeness of the crime.
Me again. Yes I know how to spell convict. Among other things. Yes, I admitt they may have had difficulty getting things comprehensible from me but they took all initial reports in person from my financial attorney who is professional and articulate and in full (from the start!) comprehension and understanding of what was being done to me. LBPD was involved immediately and dealt with my brother the engineer and father the retired attorney and my lawyer so I don't buy that as an excuse for them. They're either C-Y-A or don't realize civil matters are legal disputes. This man committed forgery and fraud. I laugh because Long Beach has an entire detail assigned to forgery and fraud and it is that detail's detective that insists this isn't worthy of investigation. I just got that news yesterday. The day I wrote that hysterical outburst above. In my neighborhood 2 or 3 years prior this happened to another home owner who happens to have a mutual friend between us who told me. I saw the house, it is beautiful. They took everything while they were on vacation. They even took their doorbell. They never caught the criminals and I don't know if they skimmed equity or sold the home also. It is almost technically the dumbest crime I have ever seen committed with such blatetency. California has escrows and title insurance (yes they have ALL of my important documents, medical records of innocent bystanders as I owned a medical records company and very sensitive financiald documents of some very wealthy people from when I worked for an oil exploration company, including my interest in an oil well. I get anxiety attachs when I collectively think about it. Especially the medical records. I really have to go.
