It just seems to easy to misrepresent oneself as the true owner of a property.

How could it have been deemed "transferred legally" when it was done criminally? The problem is that people working in these offices (banks, deed office, lawyers, etc..) just look at "the documents" and not the people (their history, background, photo matches, etc.) -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.57 * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21) .
